Cheese and cottage cheese khachapuri
Description
Here's my recipe for making khachapuri with cottage cheese and cheese. The filling for my khachapuri consists of feta cheese and cottage cheese—these dairy products go very well together. You can use any cheeses you like. I made a yeast dough, but there are recipes that use yogurt or soda-based dough. Serve with tea or coffee.

Place the filling in the center of the flatbread and seal the edges, forming a pouch. Then gently press with your hands to shape the khachapuri.

Step 5
Traditional khachapuri are fried in a dry skillet and brushed with butter once cooked, but I add a little oil to the skillet and fry them over low heat until golden brown. Serve khachapuri warm!
