Khachapuri (cheese bread or pie in English) is a delicious dish from Georgia. Wherever you go in Georgia, you can be sure to eat Khachapuri at least once a day. They are so, so good! These national cheese breads come in various shapes: Georgians make this bread into a large loaf for special occasions, but street vendors also sell it in smaller, tart-sized diamonds, or "beggars' purses. There are several distinctive types of khachapuri from different regions of Georgia. This recipe is probably the most common type, but it has my own touch and ingredients which I love and which add special fresh spring flavors to the traditional plain cheese filling. Serve khachapuri for breakfast with a hot cup of fragrant tea or for lunch with a fresh heirloom tomato salad and you will fall in love with this fabulous dish.
