 * 2) * 1993,, “Breads and Grains”, in The Georgian Feast: The Vibrant Culture and Savory Food of the Republic of Georgia, New York, N.Y.: , ISBN 978-0-06-016646-5 ; reprinted Berkeley; Los Angeles, Calif.: , 1999, ISBN 978-0-520-21929-8 , page 136:
 * No feast would seem proper without the marvelous cheese bread, khachapuri. Khachapuri is found throughout Georgia in many guises—round, rectangular, and boat-shaped. The dough can be yeasty with a thick crust, many-layered and flaky, or tender and cakelike. The bread is usually filled with a fresh, slightly sour cheese like imeruli (Imeretian) or suluguni, but salted cheeses like bryndza may also be used, as long as they are soaked first. For those desiring extra sustenance, the khachapuri may be topped with a cracked egg and returned to the oven until the egg sizzles. My favorite version of this cholesterol-rich khachapuri is the adzharuli khachapuri or Adzharian cheese bread, found in Batumi on the Black Sea coast and appropriately boat-shaped.
