check out the full video tutorial here: Cook with me for less than 4CHF! 

Ingredients (around 3.50 CHF total): 

  • 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

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Add cheese: Throw in a good handful of shredded cheese. Mix everything well.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.
  1. Cool & fill: Let them cool completely before gently peeling them off the paper. Then spre

  2. 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!

These are perfect for lunch, snacks, or even meal prep.
