Like many other recipes of classic national dishes, the recipes of khachapuri differ from each other depending on the region in which they are cooked: Adzharian khachapuri resemble boats, and Imeretian ones are flat cakes . In the following recipes, we prepare both types of khachapuri with an egg, so that you can choose an option to taste.
Khachapuri with egg and cheese - recipe
When preparing Imeretian khachapuri, the egg is used not as a flavoring aid, but for binding all the constituent fillings to each other.
Ingredients:
- yeast - 5 g;
- water 255 ml;
- flour - 230 g;
- egg - 1 piece;
- Suluguni cheese - 240 g;
- cheese havarti - 240 g;
- butter - 25 g.
Preparation
Yeast dilute in warm, slightly sweetened water and wait until the surface is covered with a frothy cap. Put in the flour and leave the kneaded dough for proofing, for about an hour.
After a while, take on the filling. Mix the grated cheeses with the raw egg. Divide the dough into portions, roll into a disc and lay in the center of each a handful of cheese. Pinch the edges by collecting the dough into a "bag", and then gently roll it back to its original diameter. Bake cakes at 210 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Lubricate hot cakes with butter and try.
If you want to use the egg as a flavor additive in a dish, then increase the number of eggs to 3 pieces, boil them and finely chop, then mix with the cheese filler. Khachapuri with cheese and boiled egg can also be supplemented with fresh herbs.

Ingredients:
- yeast dough - 500 g;
- Suluguni cheese - 210 g;
- Adyghe cheese - 300 g;
- eggs - 4 pieces;

Preparation
Prepare yeast dough according to the recipe presented above. While the dough is on the proofing surface, take on the filling, consisting of a mixture of two types of grated cheese.
