The most famous type of dish is Khachapuri adjarskie, which is characterized by a characteristic boat -shaped shape. The agent is filled with salty cheese (usually a mixture of Sulguni and Imeruli cheese), and just before served, a raw egg is stuck. Pieces of cake from the edges are taken by cheese mass.
The second most popular type of dish is CHACZAPURI IMERULIon which the recipe below is modeled. It resembles a flat cake stuffed with cheese and then baked. There is also similar megruli – with a layer of cheese baked on top. Khachapuri is always served hot – for a main course, a snack or even breakfast.
