Fried cheese in pita bread
6 servings
15 minutes
Fried cheese in lavash is a simple yet surprisingly delicious dish that combines the warmth of Russian cuisine with Armenian traditions of lavash preparation. The lavash wrapped around the tender cheese acquires a crispy golden crust while hiding a soft, stretchy texture inside. This recipe is perfect for a quick snack or a cozy home dinner. The light spiciness of the egg mixture enhances the flavor, making it richer. It is served hot right after frying to maintain the contrast of textures—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It can be complemented with herbs or sauces to add new flavor nuances. Easy to prepare, it can impress even gourmets with its rich taste.
1
Cut the lavash into crosswise strips. Slice the cheese into pieces no wider than the lavash strips so that it can be wrapped around about twice.

Wrap each slice of cheese with a strip of lavash, dip in egg, and fry for 3-5 minutes on both sides in a pan with oil. They fry very quickly.
