While the traditional cheeses used in native Georgian Adjaruli khachapuri are imeruli and sulguni, they're difficult to find in this country. The most commonly suggested (and available) substitutes for these Georgian cheeses are mozzarella and feta, which we've combined here with ricotta.

Khachapuri (Georgian: ხაჭაპური khach'ap'uri [χatʃʼapʼuɾi] from ხაჭო khachʼo [χat͡ʃʼo] 'curd' + პური pʼuri [pʼuri] 'bread') is a traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread.

Are khachapuri and Pide the same dish from different countries? Khachapuri is traditionally from Georgia, whereas Pide is Turkish. Pide often includes savory toppings, whereas khachapuri is strictly cheese, bread, and sometimes an egg.

In Georgia, khachapuri is enjoyed at every type of occasion and any time of day, whether for breakfast, as a quick snack or as part of a lavish dinner feast known as a supra.
