Lazy achma is a simple and quick version of traditional Georgian pastry that retains its rich taste and aroma. The recipe is based on thin Armenian lavash soaked in butter, mayonnaise, and cheese, creating a tender, juicy structure. The dish is perfect for breakfast or a snack, and its crispy golden crust makes achma especially appetizing. The history of achma goes back to Georgian cuisine where the classic version requires more time and effort. This variant is a find for those who appreciate flavor without complications. It is served hot or warm and pairs well with greens, sour cream, or fresh vegetables.
