Topped with melted cheese, eggs, and butter this simple cheese bread known as khachapuri is the most famous dish/snack in Georgia. There are different types of khachapuri, and even though some new cheese varieties such as mozzarella and feta have been incorporated in the dish, the most common additions still include traditional Georgian Sulguni or Imeretian cheese.
An elongated shape maximizes the contrast in texture, from the tender interior to crisp, brown tips. Khachapuri experts know to break off the ends for swabbing in the rich, oozing filling. It’s such a key feature of Georgian cuisine that the Khachapuri Index is one measure of the country’s economic welfare; and earlier this year, the country’s National Agency for Cultural Heritage Preservation named traditional khachapuri as UNESCO Intangible Heritage of Georgia. Although it is considered a snack, khachapuri can often be consumed as a full meal. It can also be bought at numerous kiosks located alongside Georgian roads. Khachapuri is also prepared in Russia, Armenia, and other parts of the world.
