Thank you for detailing the recipe for this fabulous dish! The first time I learned what khachapuri was was when an employee, a native of Georgia, brought home-made khachapuri to work. He said that he wouldn’t tell me the detailed recipe, since it is a secret)) And, in addition to hard cheese, you can also use soft cheese, that is, cottage cheese, to make khachapuri, which also turns out incredibly tasty!
