Penovani Khachapuri is a delightful Georgian pastry known for its flaky layers and rich cheese filling.

This dish has its roots in Georgian culinary traditions, where it has been enjoyed for generations as a beloved comfort food.

To make Penovani Khachapuri, you start by preparing a dough with flour, eggs, and water. The dough is then filled with a generous amount of cheese and folded to create layers.

After filling, the pastry is baked in the oven until it achieves a beautiful golden brown color and the cheese inside melts perfectly.

While the traditional recipe is already delicious, you can experiment by adding different types of cheese or incorporating herbs for an extra burst of flavor.

In Georgia, Penovani Khachapuri is typically served warm, often accompanied by a fresh salad or a glass of wine, making it a perfect meal or snack.

From a nutritional perspective, this dish is rich in protein and calcium due to the cheese, but it can also be high in calories and fat. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
