Penovani khachapuri

(ფენოვანი ხაჭაპური, Layered khachapuri)

Penovani khachapuri is a Georgian khachapuri variety originating from Samtskhe-Javakheti. In order to prepare it, a combination of Imeruli and Sulguni cheese is grated and combined with egg yolks. The mixture is placed on a piece of puff pastry that's folded into triangles or squares.


Before baking, each khachapuri is brushed with a mix of egg yolks and milk. These tasty small pies are ready for consumption after they puff up in the oven and become golden brown. This khachapuri variety is the easiest, speediest, and simplest to make of all the khachapuri versions.
