Lazy khachapuri is a simplified version of the famous Georgian dish that retains its rich taste and aroma. It is based on cottage cheese dough with added cheese, herbs, and spices, making these flatbreads incredibly tender and flavorful. Warm, slightly crispy on the outside but soft inside, this khachapuri is perfect for a quick breakfast or a cozy family dinner. Historically, khachapuri is the pride of Georgian cuisine and a symbol of home comfort and hospitality. In this version, its preparation is simplified by excluding complex dough kneading and long baking times, making it accessible even for those who don't like spending much time in the kitchen. It is served cut into portions and pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetables and fragrant green tea.

4. Grease the pan with one spoon of vegetable oil and spread half of the mixture on it, flattening it into a pancake shape and frying on both sides until cooked, covering with a lid. Fry the second half of the batter in the same way.

5. The flatbreads are quite fragile, so it's better to flip them this way: first transfer the semi-cooked khachapuri to a plate, then flip it onto the pan with the other side and continue frying.
