In the Caucasus, instead of the usual bread in our understanding, lavash is baked. Lavash is a thin flatbread that is usually baked in a tandoor. It is believed that this bread is much healthier than usual. Lavash is used to prepare many dishes that are very tasty. Cooking them is quite simple.

For the dish you will need to take:
- 100 g of suluguni cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 lavash
- 2 tbsp. l. butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- Place a frying pan on the stove. Take 1 tbsp. l. butter and melt on it. Gently cover the bottom of the pan with pita bread. This should be done so that the cake hangs over the sides of the pan. Drive eggs into the middle of the cake, which are well pre-washed. Season with salt and pepper. Those who love spices can add their favorites (do not get carried away). Grate suluguni cheese and cover eggs with it. Next, also gently wrap the edges of the pita bread.
