The national dish of Georgia is Khachapuri, a beloved traditional leavened bread that is often described as the perfect winter warmer.
Khachapuri is distinctive for its canoe-like shape, which cradles a generous filling of gooey melted sulguni cheese baked into the middle. After baking, it is typically topped with chunks of butter and an egg cracked directly onto the hot cheese, which cooks gently from the residual heat. This combination creates a rich, comforting, and incredibly flavorful experience, making it a staple of Georgian cuisine.
