Directions
Adjarian Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish, a boat-shaped dish made of fluffy yeast dough filled with melted cheese (usually suluguni), topped with an egg and a piece of butter in the center. This is more than just a cheese pie—it’s a gastronomic symbol of Georgia, captivating the hearts of gourmets worldwide.
The cheese boat is served hot: before serving, a fresh egg yolk is cracked in the center, which is gently set by the warmth of the cheese and dough. The finished khachapuri is eaten by breaking off the edges of the boat and dipping them into the melted cheese, egg, and butter—a true feast for the senses!
