Pita bread khachapuri with cheese in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Wash the eggs and put them in a bowl. Add kefir and a pinch of salt. Instead of kefir, you can easily use yogurt in the same amount. Whisk the mixture with a whisk or a regular fork until smooth. There is no need for pomp here, you just need to achieve uniformity of the mixture.

2. Step 2:

   

   It will take three small sheets of thin pita bread. In total, I got about two hundred grams for all the sheets. One whole sheet should be postponed. From the other two, cut out two blanks in the shape of a circle according to the size of the mold in which the khachapuri will be baked. Just attach a sheet of pita bread to the bottom of the inverted mold and carefully cut out a circle with scissors. The trimmings should be torn into smaller pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put small pieces of pita bread in a bowl and drown in the egg-kefir mixture.

4. Step 4:

   

   Grease the bottom of the baking dish with a drop of sunflower oil. Distribute a whole sheet of pita bread in the form, leaving allowances for the sides. If the ends are too long, you can carefully cut them off and add them to the filling bowl. I have a shape measuring eighteen centimeters in inner diameter.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sprinkle the first layer of lavash with one-fourth of the cheese grated on a coarse grater. I have tilsiter. On this layer, you could pour more cheese, I didn't make enough.

7. Step 6:

   

   Cover the first layer on top with one of the cut circles. Sprinkle with the second part of the grated cheese and distribute half of the cheese. The cheese should be broken into small pieces beforehand, or crushed into large crumbs, since brine cheeses do not melt even at high temperature. There should not be a mark "processed product" on the package with cheese. This cheese is not suitable for khachapuri.

8. Step 7:

   

   Lay out the pieces of pita bread soaked in egg mixture in the next layer. Save the remaining liquid.

9. Step 8:

   

   Then distribute the third part of the grated cheese and the second half of the cheese.

10. Step 9:

    

    Wrap the edges of the first large sheet of lavash inside the khachapuri and press lightly.

11. Step 10:

    

    Cover with the second cut circle, pour the remaining filling and sprinkle with the rest of the grated cheese. Bake khachapuri in a preheated oven to two hundred degrees for twenty minutes. Until the cheese melts and an appetizing cheese crust is formed.
