Wraps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the cauliflower into smaller pieces and pulse into crumbs in a food processor.
- Add remaining wrap ingredients and mix into a smooth batter. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Spread the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 1⁄4" (5 mm) thick.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until it turns a nice golden color. Remove from the oven and turn the bread upside down directly onto another sheet of parchment paper.
- Return to the oven and bake for a few more minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into individual portions. Let cool.
Filling
- Place the eggs in boiling water for 8 minutes. Cool in ice water for easier peeling.
- Mix cottage cheese, mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and chili. Season with salt and pepper.
- Finely slice or shred the kohlrabi with a sharp knife or coarse grater. Distribute all of the fillings on the wraps. Fold together and enjoy!
Tip
The second best thing about these wraps (taste comes first!) is that you can customize both the wrap and the filling according to your own personal preferences. So get creative and assemble a unique combination each time you serve them.

Substitutes
Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste—most aromatic herbs work well. Another twist would be to create a delicious green wrap by using broccoli instead of cauliflower. When it comes to the cheese, feel free to mix different varieties. Why not try a mature cheese with parmesan? Or for something more mild, go with a mix of shredded mozzarella and Monterey jack. And don't be afraid to swap the hard-boiled eggs for scrambled or fried!
Storing the dish
You can store the bread in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to one month. It’s best to thaw frozen wraps at room temperature.
What to do with leftover egg yolks? Well, homemade mayo of course! Try our traditional, chipotle or wasabi mayonnaise.

The psyllium husk certainly works better as a powder. If it isn't already in powdered form, then an electric grinder is a great way to powder it.
The "serving" is for on the side. It lists 4 eggs if you're making 4 servings so it's only 1 per serving amount.
