Georgian pastries

Description

Homemade pastries for tea. This amount of ingredients will make 4 khachapuri. But I'm sure even an adult could be full with just one, as they are very filling and delicious. You can choose any types of cheese you like for this dish. Serve them hot and with a fork, so you can mix the egg with the melted cheese. The pastries are ready. Serve at the table.
