Quick khachapuri made from puff pastry. Step by step cooking

1. Turn on the oven to preheat.
2. I don't like to bother with making dough for a long time, so I buy puff from the store, but if you want, you can make it yourself.
3. First, let's prepare the filling. It is important to choose the right feta cheese. It must be white or light cream in color. If the feta cheese is yellow or has cracks and a dry crust on top or crumbles, it is stale. Be careful. You can take cow or goat feta cheese, it doesn't matter. Hard cheese take whatever you like.
4. So, we rub both types of cheese on a coarse grater. And put it on a plate.
5. We take one egg (always fresh) and beat it with a whisk or fork.
6. Add salt to the egg, mix again.
7. Now we pour half of the beaten egg into the cheese and mix everything well. Try the filling. It should be salty. It is customary to eat khachapuri with sweet tea and wine, so the filling should be slightly salted. You need to mix well so that cheese and feta cheese in equal amounts get into our khachapuri.
8. We take puff pastry. I buy packages with 3 sheets of dough. We need two layers. It is necessary to roll it out so that the thickness is about 2-3 mm.
9. We put the first layer on the table and put all the filling on it. We distribute evenly, approximately 1 cm thick.
10. We take the second rolled layer and cover the first one with it.
11. Bring the edges well together to prevent the cheese from dripping.
12. Transfer the khachapuri to a greased baking sheet with vegetable oil.
13. Now make cuts as in portions, do not cut to the end, but only the top layer. If you have round layers, cut into pieces like for pizza, if rectangular - into squares. This must be done in order to ready meal it is easier to cut and so that the dough does not bubble during baking.
14. Brush the other half of the beaten egg over the product. It is convenient to use a silicone brush for this. We do this to make the khachapuri brown and not only tasty, but also beautiful.
15. Our oven should be hot already. We send the product into it at a temperature of 180 degrees for 7-10 minutes, until it turns brown.
16. Cut the finished product in the marked strips and serve.
