Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

This khachapuri variety hails from Guria, a province in the west of Georgia. Unlike other khachapuri pies, this one is crescent-shaped and it's prepared for Orthodox Christmas. The dough is filled with a combination of grated Imeruli cheese and hard-boiled eggs before it's baked until golden-brown. The shape of this pie was associated with celestial bodies, and for ancient Gurians it was a symbol of strength, so nowadays there is a superstitious belief that each family member should get at least one Gurian khachapuri during the festive Christmas season.
