suluguni cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat mozzarella

💰Cheaper: regular mozzarella

Low-fat mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining texture.

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and provides a similar tangy flavor.

Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water and melted butter, then knead until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Divide the dough into portions and roll each into a circle.

Combine feta and suluguni cheese in a bowl, adding black pepper and herbs.

Place cheese mixture in the center of each dough circle, leaving a border.

Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, pinching to seal.

Shape the dough into a boat-like form, ensuring cheese is visible.

Brush the dough with milk and bake until golden, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and crack an egg on top of each khachapuri.

Return to oven and bake until the egg is set, about 5 minutes.
