Khachapuri in Phoenix?

[ipsedixit]

Can one find khachapuri anywhere in Phoenix (or the Valley)?

Thanks as always.

If you mean LA's San Fernando Valley, there's a Big Mama's & Papa's in Studio City which serves khachapouri.

That's where I had my first one. But it was the Big Mama's in downtown.

My wife is Georgain and keeps telling me how good it is but I've never actually tasted it.

Next time the mother-in-law visits apparently she is going to make some which I guess proves that every cloud does have a silver lining.

Lucky you.

I've never understood why American pizzas don't incorporate eggs more often as a common topping/ingredient.

Sassi have an appetizer you would probably like then.

Its a kind of flat bread / rustic with a runny egg as topping.

Humble Pie had an Egg and Prosciutto pizza, which I enjoyed. Their menu changes, so, I don't know if it is currently available.

I'm confused- all the khachapuri that I've had did not include an egg on top. Is that a regional specialty? I'm used to relatively unadorned yeast bread with salty melted cheese interior. There's a recipe in Darra Goldstein's "A Georgian Feast" cookbook that's pretty straightforward, if I'm remembering right.

(And don't know a source in Phoenix... but ask your mother-in-law to make some bean salads to go with it! Georgian food is amazingly tasty!!)

I think Khachapuri comes in different variations, some with egg and some with just a mixture of cheeses (or mashed potatoes). Both are good IMO, but topped with an egg gives the Khachapuri that extra kick.
