If you’re someone who needs your breakfast to fuel your day, not just fill your stomach, look no further than one of Georgia’s most iconic dishes: Adjaruli Khachapuri — the golden boat of cheesy bread crowned with a perfectly runny egg.
At Skalka, we serve this warm, indulgent dish fresh from the oven, and we believe it’s more than just comfort food. It’s a power breakfast that blends tradition, flavor, and nutrition in one swoon-worthy bite. Here’s why:
1. A Balanced Blend of Carbs, Protein, and Fat
The trio your body craves in the morning: carbs from the dough for energy, protein from the cheese and egg for muscle recovery, and fats for brain function and satiety. It’s satisfying without needing sides.
2. Eggs: The Morning MVP
Each Adjaruli is topped with an egg — often soft and runny — stirred directly into the bubbling cheese just before eating. That yolk? It’s loaded with protein, vitamin B12, choline, and healthy fats. One egg alone gives you around 6 grams of protein — and tastes like heaven.
3. Slow-Release Energy That Lasts
Unlike sugary cereals or pastries, Khachapuri digests more slowly, keeping you full longer and preventing that mid-morning crash. It’s the kind of breakfast that keeps your focus steady and your energy level high.
4. Comfort Meets Function
It’s warm. It’s gooey. It’s nourishing. That’s a rare combination in breakfast food. While most “power breakfasts” feel functional and boring, Khachapuri delivers the cozy, soul-warming experience that actually makes you want to wake up and eat.
5. Protein-Rich Cheese = Extra Fuel
The cheese blend in Khachapuri is no joke — rich in protein and calcium. Depending on your recipe, it often includes tangy feta, melty mozzarella, or traditional sulguni. Together with the egg, you’re looking at a protein powerhouse in every bite.
6. It’s Made to Be Shared (or Not!)
This breakfast wasn’t made to be eaten at your desk. It was made to be torn, swirled, dipped — slowly. It’s hearty enough to split, or perfect for one if you’re really hungry. It’s a breakfast worth slowing down for, and that alone is a power move.
The Bottom Line: A Breakfast That Works Hard and Tastes Incredible
Khachapuri with a runny egg isn’t just about flavor — it’s about function. It’s comfort food that fuels you, blending rich tradition with the kind of nutrition your body needs to start the day right.
