Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   First of all, you need to crumble the feta cheese. I usually mash it with a fork or blend it for literally 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Add finely chopped dill, butter, and egg to the feta cheese, season with pepper, and knead thoroughly (I find it easier to do this by hand).

3. 3

   Step 3

   Carefully roll out the dough. I find it most convenient to work with a thickness of 1-2 mm. Cut the resulting dough into squares measuring 12-15 cm on each side.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Place a mixture of feta cheese, herbs, and spices in the center of each square. I leave a 2-3 cm border from the edge to cover the filling.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Seal the khachapuri: fold the corners toward the center to form an envelope.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Grease the baking sheet with margarine. Place the prepared khachapuri on it and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. The optimal temperature is 180 degrees. I recommend opening the oven several times and pricking the khachapuri with a fork or toothpick to let the air out, without damaging the crust.
