Ingredients & Price
-
3–4 carrots (or pre-grated if you’re feeling lazy like me) = 1.49 CHF
-
1 egg = 0.3 CHF
-
Salt, pepper, spices of your choice (paprika, cumin, garlic powder — go wild)
-
Optional: fresh herbs like chives
-
A handful of shredded cheese (mozzarella works great) = 0.8
-
For the filling: cottage cheese, ricotta, ham (or whatever you like!) = 0.9 CHF
Total = 3.40 CHF
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the base: Grate your carrots (or use ready-made grated ones). In a bowl, mix them with one egg, salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Add some chopped chives if you have them.
-
Add cheese: Throw in a good handful of shredded cheese. Mix everything well.
-
Shape the wraps: On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spoon out the mixture and press it into flat, round shapes. Make sure to compact it well so it holds together!
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the wraps for about 25 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Cool & fill: Let them cool completely before gently peeling them off the paper. Then spre
- ad your filling — I used cottage cheese, ricotta, and a slice of ham. Fold in half like a taco or wrap it up — and you’re done!

Serving Suggestions
- Want it vegan? Skip the egg and cheese, try using a bit of flour or flaxseed as a binder.
- Swap the filling! Try hummus, grilled veggies, tuna salad, or scrambled eggs.
- Double the batch, they hold well in the fridge for 3 days.
