Method

1. Grate suluguni² on a box grater, then mix with farmer’s cheese, finely chopped dill⁶, salt, and half a beaten egg until smooth.

2. Cut each lavash sheet in half. Spoon the filling onto the center of each half, fold the edges inward to form a tight packet, and brush the outside with the remaining beaten egg.

3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter⁵ in a 9.5-inch (24 cm) skillet over medium heat.

4. Place the packets seam-side down in the skillet, cover, and fry for 3 minutes until golden brown.

5. Flip and cook covered for another 3 minutes, until the cheese starts to melt and the egg sets.

6. Remove from heat, let rest 1 minute, then serve hot.
