Recipe

Ingredients

  • Dough:
  • 1/2 liter yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 50 grams butter or margarine
  • 3 cups flour
  • Salt
  • Filling:
  • 1 kilogram slightly salted cheese, grated
  • 6 eggs

Directions

  1. Beat one egg and stir in the yogurt. Sprinkle the mixture with salt. Mix baking soda with flour and pour it into the yogurt mixture. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and sprinkle the dough with flour liberally. Roll out the dough carefully.
  2. If the cheese is salty, soak it in the water for several hours before grating, squeeze it out and let it drain. Divide the dough into 6 pieces. 3. Roll out each piece and place 1/6 of the grated cheese in the center of each round.
  3. Gather the eggs for each round in the center, sealing them so that the cheese will be inside the khachapuri, leaving a hollow for the egg.
  4. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius and bake khachapuri until they are browned. Beat an egg into the hollow of each khachapuri and put it in the oven for a minute.
