  3. Shape the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, and let it rise covered for about 1 hour.
  4. Prepare cheese filling by blending farmers cheese, feta, and mozzarella until creamy.
  5. Punch down the dough, divide into 6 portions, and roll each into a circle. Shape into boats and fill with cheese mixture.
  6. Cover filled khachapuri and let rise for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 425°F.
  7. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Create an indent in cheese filling, crack an egg in each, and top with butter. Bake for another 5 minutes.
