PUBLISHED February 22, 2024

This traditional dish from the country of Georgia, known as acharuli khachapuri, is essentially a canoe made out of pizza dough and filled with bubbling cheese and a runny egg. What’s not to like?

The most fun way to eat khachapuri is to put the boat on a platter while it’s still hot and tear into it with your fingers, dipping the hunks of bread into the molten center. If that sounds too hot or messy (it can be both), you can always cut it crosswise into pieces and serve on individual plates.
