Keto Khachapuri

 

Surprise, I found an recipe I forgot to share!  It actually cooled off her over the weekend and it’s spectacular!  I wore boots for the first time on Sunday.  I LOVE IT!  I even made my first pot of chili over the weekend, that obviously I was craving when I first wrote this.  😂

I have a feeling I am not in the minority when I say I have already decorated for fall. Maybe I’m hoping it will bring on the colder weather. I love summer, and it has been a great summer. In fact, a very eventful summer for my family, but good. However, I am over it this year. I am ready for everything that comes with autumn, like bonfires, sweaters, and boots. I’m even craving chili!

Not at all chili, but a breakfast that I can’t get enough of these days is Khachapuri. Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread.

To make the keto version of this bread, start with fathead dough.  Fathead dough can be a little dry on its own. It is used in various ways for low-carb and keto diets. Most commonly is probably to make bagels.

The dough comes together quickly. Rolled and filled with a tasty cheese mixture and topped with an egg, these Khachapuri are a satisfying keto breakfast. You can rip off the crust and dip it in the cheese and egg. I usually top the Khachapuri with sliced avocado or fresh arugula, tossed with avocado oil.
