Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make delicious crispy fried khachapuri from pita bread with cottage cheese and cheese in a frying pan? Very simple and fast! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can choose the type of cheese to suit your taste. For example, replace regular cheese with mozzarella, suluguni or feta cheese. Instead of Armenian lavash, you can also use wheat roll. Read about how to choose the right pita bread at the end of the recipe.

Step 2

Step 2
It’s best to start cooking with the filling. Place the cottage cheese in a bowl and mash with a fork. Any cottage cheese will do for the filling. When fried, even lumpy cottage cheese will become softer and more pliable. I have cottage cheese in briquettes. It is quite moist and juicy. Read about how to choose high-quality cottage cheese for filling in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

Step 3

Step 3
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. I have regular Russian cheese.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the parsley, dry and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, green onions, dill, cilantro, or use a mixture of different herbs.

Step 5

Beat the egg with a fork until smooth.

Step 6

Step 6
Add cheese, herbs and vegetable oil to the cottage cheese. Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste and stir.

Step 7

Step 7
Cut the pita bread into strips 7-8 cm wide. I got 8 strips about 40 cm long. The pita bread dries very quickly, so the strips need to be cut last, when the filling is already prepared. Before this, it is better to store the pita bread in a hermetically sealed bag. Place a little filling on the edge of each strip.

Step 8

Step 8
Roll the pita strips into triangles. In this case, all edges should be wrapped in pita bread, then the filling will not leak out of the envelope.

Step 9

Step 9
Brush the edges of the pita bread with beaten egg and form into triangles.

Step 10

Step 10
Form the rest of the khachapuri in the same way. If desired, you can make square or rectangular blanks.

Step 11

Step 11
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over low heat. There should be enough oil to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Read about how to choose the perfect frying pan, as well as how to choose the right vegetable oil in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe. Place the lavash pieces and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
