Bubbling with fresh imeruli and sulguni cheeses, khachapuri might be the country of Georgia’s most beloved snack.
The savory1 flatbread starts with soft, yeasted2 dough3 that’s pinched into a boat-shaped cradle, then baked with a generous filling of egg and cheese. An elongated4 shape maximizes the contrast in texture5, from the tender interior to crisp, brown tips. Khachapuri experts know to break off the ends for swabbing in the rich, oozing6 filling.
It’s such a key feature of Georgian cuisine7 that the Khachapuri Index is one measure of the country’s economic welfare; and in 2019, the country’s National Agency for Cultural Heritage Preservation8 named traditional khachapuri as UNESCO Intangible Heritage of Georgia.
