Tbilisi Adjaruli Khachapuri 🧀

A golden boat of yeasted dough crammed with molten suluguni cheese, crowned with a runny egg and a knob of butter — Georgia's most indulgent comfort bread.

Adjara Georgian ⏱ 90 min Medium

Method

  1. 1

    Dissolve yeast in warm milk, then knead with flour, egg and a little butter into a soft, smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.

  3. 3

    Grate both cheeses and toss with a spoonful of sour cream to loosen.

  4. 4

    Roll each piece of dough into an oval, fold the edges inward to form a boat and pinch the ends shut.

  5. 5

    Fill with cheese and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles, then crack an egg into the middle and bake just until set.

  6. 6

    Sink a knob of butter into the runny yolk, stir a little together and serve scorching hot.
