Cheese khachapuri is one of the most popular dishes of Georgian cuisine, embodying its warm, cozy, and rich flavor. This aromatic cheese bread originated in ancient times and has become a symbol of hospitality over time. Outside it has a golden crispy crust; inside is a tender, stretchy cheese filling with a hint of garlic. It is made from yeast dough filled with a mixture of cheese, butter, and garlic, then rolled out and fried until golden brown. Khachapuri is perfect for breakfast, as a snack or as a main dish, especially when paired with fragrant herbs and fresh vegetables. It can be eaten hot while the cheese melts, enjoying the rich flavor that brings comfort and gastronomic pleasure.
