Khachapuri with cheese

4 servings

50 minutes

Cheese khachapuri is a true embodiment of Georgian culinary soul. This dish originates from the ancient traditions of Georgia's mountainous regions, where khachapuri symbolized hospitality and family warmth. The crispy layered dough filled with a tender mixture of cheese and cottage cheese acquires a golden crust during baking. The rich flavor of melted cheese, accented by spicy garlic and a hint of pepper, makes this khachapuri an ideal choice for a cozy lunch or festive feast. Juicy, aromatic triangles are best served hot—when the cheese inside is still stretchy and the dough is incredibly crispy. Cheese khachapuri pairs perfectly with Georgian wines, fresh herbs, and good company.
