Khachapuri recipe in a frying pan
Description
The pastry is easy and quick to make. For the filling, use any cheese you like best—you can even use a mix of cheeses. Khachapuri are also very tasty with cottage cheese. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 4
Knead a soft, elastic dough. The dough should not stick to your hands, so add a little more flour if needed. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a food-grade plastic bag, and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.

Grate the cheese on the coarse side of a grater, add 2 tablespoons of butter melted over low heat in a saucepan and the remaining egg yolk. Mix everything together — this is the filling.
