Lazy khachapuri
Description
The pastry is easy and quick to prepare. Most of us have probably tried khachapuri—the traditional Georgian pastry. However, not many have heard of lazy khachapuri. Essentially, it's similar to lazy vareniki, but with its own unique characteristics. To make lazy khachapuri, it's best to use not only cottage cheese (as in lazy vareniki) but also cheese—instead of Russian cheese, you could use sulguni, for example (just make sure it's firm). In spring, don't skimp on fresh herbs—dill, onion (leek adds a particularly piquant flavor). See the detailed recipe. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
