Chvishtari is a beloved traditional Georgian cornbread that is enriched with cheese, making it a delightful treat for any meal.

This dish has been a staple in Georgian households for generations, often enjoyed as a comforting snack or a side dish.

To make Chvishtari, you start by mixing cornmeal, cheese, milk, eggs, and a pinch of salt to create a rich batter. This mixture is then poured into a pan and baked until it turns golden and crispy on the outside.

While the classic recipe is delicious on its own, you can customize Chvishtari by adding herbs or spices to the batter, or even incorporating different types of cheese to suit your taste.

In Georgia, Chvishtari is typically served warm, often accompanied by a dollop of fresh butter or a side of tangy yogurt to enhance its flavors.

From a nutritional perspective, Chvishtari provides a good source of carbohydrates and protein, thanks to the cornmeal and cheese. However, it can be relatively high in fat, so it is best enjoyed in moderation if you are mindful of your fat intake.
