Khachapuri (Georgian Cheese Bread)
Khachapuri (Georgian Cheese Bread) features a soft, leavened crust shaped like a boat and filled with a lush blend of feta, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella. Baked until the cheese bubbles, it’s finished with a just-set egg and melting pats of butter for a rich, salty, and slightly tangy bite. Ideal for brunch or sharing as a warm, indulgent centerpiece.

Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the milk, water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit until the yeast becomes creamy and foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups flour, the olive oil, and the salt; mix until a sticky dough forms.
- 2
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for about 3 minutes, adding the remaining 1/4 cup flour as needed, until the dough is very soft but still workable. Shape it into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

While the dough rises, make the cheese blend: Toss together the feta, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella in a medium bowl. Refrigerate the cheese mixture until needed.

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Flatten it slightly and cut it in half. Place one dough half on a sheet of parchment paper dusted with flour. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
- 6
Arrange 1/4 of the cheese mixture in two rows, 1 to 2 inches from the long sides. Roll the sides up tightly over the cheese to form a canoe shape. Pinch and twist the ends to seal. Trim any excess parchment and lift the dough onto a baking sheet. Shape and stuff the remaining dough half. Fill the canoes with the remaining cheese mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Using a spoon, form a well in the center of each khachapuri; crack an egg into each well.
- 8
Return to the oven and bake until the eggs are mostly set, 3 to 4 minutes. Place 2 pats of butter over each egg, then sprinkle with salt and cayenne. Plate the khachapuri; tear off one end and use it to stir the butter into the egg.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
