Khachapuri (Georgian: ხაჭაპური from ხაჭო xačo "curds" + პური puri "bread") is a traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread. The bread is leavened and allowed to rise, and is shaped in various ways. The filling contains cheese (fresh or aged, most commonly suluguni), eggs and other ingredients.

The recipe is from Holly's Helping

Ps. I made another different filling, since my parents want to eat cheese less. It was bechamel with chicken breast, scallion, mustard, salt and black pepper.
