Dust the baking mat with flour and divide the dough into 3 parts.

Roll each portion into an oval shape, stretching the dough with hands as needed.

Place 70-80 g of grated cheese in the center of each oval.

Pinch the dough thoroughly to avoid holes and repeat with remaining portions.

Place the khachapuris back side up on a baking sheet.

Crack and mix an egg to brush the dough and make cuts in the middle of each khachapuri.

Use hands to form a boat shape and brush the dough with egg.

Bake in the oven at 220°C (425°F) for 10-12 minutes.

Take out khachapuris, spread the cheese a little with a fork, place the yolks on top, and return to the oven for another 1-2 minutes.
