Appetizer with Lavash and Cheese
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. For those who prefer a crispier version of this appetizer, I recommend toasting the prepared lavash pieces on a dry skillet. Instead of a skillet, you can use the oven (bake the lavash in the oven). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the melting cheese doesn’t spread. Place the prepared lavash pieces on the parchment and bake the lavash in the oven at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Step 1
To make a lavash and cheese appetizer, we'll use Georgian thin lavash. This type of lavash is also found in other Caucasian cuisines. Spread the lavash out on the table.

Step 2
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of the lavash. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Remove anything unnecessary from the leaves. Tear the leaves by hand into small pieces and place them on the lavash.

Step 3
Grate one or two types of cheese on a grater. The more cheese varieties you use, the tastier the appetizer will be. You can mix different cheeses—for example, several kinds of hard or semi-hard cheese. You can also combine hard cheese with something like Adyghe cheese or even processed cheese. Spread the cheese evenly over the lavash. Salt and pepper.

Step 4
Cut the lavash into small pieces and arrange them on a platter. Serve it at the table. The appetizer is delicious on its own just like this. For those who like crispy appetizers, the prepared pieces can be toasted in a dry skillet or baked in the oven.
