Looking into the refrigerator today, I saw a pack of cottage cheese, and decided to look for a delicious recipe made from cottage cheese. After reviewing a lot of recipes, some of which I had already cooked many, many times, I came across a recipe for Adjarian-style PP khachapuri. The photos from the recipe seemed incredibly beautiful and attractive. All! It was decided to cook them. I liked the composition of the recipe, there are no ingredients that are difficult for the stomach, although I didn’t have any baking powder, I added slaked soda, the boats turned out to be very fluffy, which most likely was the reason that some of the protein leaked out, and I didn’t add some at all. The aroma from the oven came out after about 10 minutes and it immediately made my mouth water. After adding the egg and the remaining cheese, it turned out to be very difficult to wait 3-5 minutes) it smells really delicious. Adding greenery adds its own twist (I added dill). After the first bite it is impossible to stop. They prepared khachapuri for the children, they ate everything down to a clean plate, making me promise that as soon as I had cottage cheese at home, I would make them again. The cheese intertwined with the taste of cottage cheese, just like in expensive restaurants, they mixed and created an “explosion” for the taste buds. I am very glad that I did not waste my time and products. Satisfied children, satisfied mother) we’ll cook for everyone this weekend. I think my husband will check it out with pleasure. Thanks to the author, the recipe is amazing!!
