Khachapuri from ready-made puff pastry
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Khachapuri is a dish from Georgian cuisine, derived from the words "khacho" (cottage cheese) and "puri" (bread). I'll show you how to easily and quickly prepare khachapuri using ready-made puff pastry. The filling blends into the dough, giving it a creamy, cheesy flavor. You can use any cheese you prefer.

Step 4
Place a portion of cheese filling on each square. You can add 1 egg and butter to the filling, but that turns out too rich for us. So I stick to just cheese. I can change the type of cheese as desired.

Step 5
Pinch the dough as shown in the photo. At this point, you can stop, brush the top of the khachapuri with egg yolk, and bake in the oven. But I like another shaping method of theirs.

Roll out the sealed khachapuri into a square with a rolling pin, pressing the cheese into the dough. Pinch the edges toward the center of the khachapuri, brushing each corner with egg white.
