Lazy Adjarian-style cottage cheese khachapuri in a frying pan
Description
Мой император! 👑✨ Baking is prepared simply and quickly. Delicious khachapuri can also be made by adding fresh herbs to the curd dough: dill, parsley, cilantro, etc. The main thing is not to overbake the yolk, so that it spreads over the khachapuri when tasting. The dish is served hot.
