Khachapuri is a Georgian cheese filled bread dish. It’s somewhat similar to cheese quesadillas,but that’s just similar.Khachapuri is way better.These are very easy to make and take minimal time to prepare.
I make them with mozzarella or suluguni cheese.You can even add feta cheese or some Parmesan to mozzarella.
