Megruli khachapuri is a beloved Georgian dish that features a delightful combination of bread and cheese.

This traditional cheese-filled bread originates from the Samegrelo region of Georgia and has been a staple in Georgian cuisine for centuries.

To make Megruli khachapuri, you start by preparing a dough with flour, yeast, water, and salt. Once the dough has risen, it is filled with a generous amount of cheese and then baked until golden brown.

While the classic recipe uses a specific type of Georgian cheese, you can experiment with other cheeses that melt well, such as mozzarella or feta, to create your own variation of this dish.

In Georgia, Megruli khachapuri is typically served as a main course, often accompanied by a side of fresh salad or pickled vegetables to balance the richness of the cheese.

From a nutritional perspective, Megruli khachapuri provides a good source of carbohydrates from the bread and protein from the cheese. However, it can be high in fat, so it is best enjoyed in moderation, especially for those watching their fat intake.
