Lavash envelopes with different fillings are an excellent solution for a quick dinner. They are prepared easily and quickly, even a teenager can handle it. I have prepared a detailed recipe with photos for you today.

Required Products:

- thin lavash – 2 pcs.,
- cottage cheese – 350-400 gr.,
- chicken egg – 1 pc.,
- ham – 4-6 slices,
- hard cheese – 80 -100 gr.,
- mayonnaise – 3-5 tbsp.,
- green onions - a bunch,
- dill greens - a bunch,
- salt - to taste.

How to cook with photos step by step

1. To cook, you need square blanks. Therefore, cut each pita bread into 8 identical squares.




2. For the curd filling, mix the cottage cheese and chicken egg in a bowl. Add salt to your taste and mix thoroughly.




3. Place a spoonful of curd filling in the center of a square piece of lavash.






4. Connect the opposite corners, fastening them together (you can dip them a little in the filling).




5. Do the same with the rest of the corners. The result should be an “envelope”. Do the same with the rest of the blanks.




6. For piquancy and aroma, you can add chopped dill and finely chopped green onions to the curd filling. Mix everything well.






7. Assembling the lavash envelope in this case is identical to the previous one: place a spoonful of curd filling with herbs in the center of the square.




8. And also assemble the workpiece with an “envelope”.




9. Another filling option for lavash envelopes is ham and cheese. For this type, grease the central part of the square with a small amount of mayonnaise.




10. Then sprinkle with grated cheese. Its quantity depends on your preferences.






11. Place a slice of ham on top. Its diameter should not exceed 10 cm. Otherwise, it will be difficult to “assemble” the envelope.




12. Cover the ham with a layer of grated cheese.




13. Assemble with an envelope: connect the opposite corners together, securing with a drop of mayonnaise.




14. Fry lavash envelopes with different fillings on both sides in a small amount of oil. To prevent them from “falling apart” during cooking, initially place the envelopes with the seam down. This way they will be secured and will remain sealed in the future.






15. In addition to lavash envelopes, you can make “cigars” with curd filling. Place a little filling on the edge of the oblong piece and fold the edges inward.




16. Roll everything up. Fry in the same way as.




17. Serve lavash envelopes with different fillings hot. Once they cool, they won't be as crispy.




Bon appetit!

Thin lavash, with a dense texture and a completely neutral taste, is a real lifesaver. It can become the basis for many dishes, from the simplest and everyday to the most sophisticated and festive.

Today we’ll talk about a practical and easy-to-prepare snack. Lavash envelopes are gaining more and more popularity, because they are easy to make and can be filled with almost anything.

General principles for preparing lavash envelopes

In order to prepare this snack, a huge number of products are suitable. But let's start with the main ingredient - lavash. It must be fresh, free of foreign odors and mold. This product disappears quite quickly, so when purchasing, you need to carefully look at the manufacturing date. It is more convenient to prepare envelopes from lavash if the lavash itself is intact and has no holes.

How to wrap an envelope? There are many ways. Regular rectangular or square rolls are very convenient and practical. Perky triangles look great on the table. And the massive roll envelopes, full of multi-colored filling, look truly festive. So, choose the method that you like and feel free to start cooking.

Wrapped envelopes are usually subject to further heat treatment. This can be frying in oil, baking in the oven, simmering in the microwave or any other method. The best results are obtained by those lavash envelopes whose recipes contain cheese - it melts under the influence of high temperatures.

Add variety: batter, breading, cheese topping

Lavash does not burn or stick to the pan, and gives an appetizing crispy crust when baked. By and large, the envelopes can be sent to fry in their original form. And you can further refine their taste. Perhaps, let's dwell in more detail on how to fry pita bread with an envelope. It will be clearer with a photo.

So, let's start with the most popular method - frying in batter. To prepare it, take a couple of raw eggs, spices and salt. If desired, the batter can be diluted with cold milk. Under no circumstances should you beat the eggs, otherwise the foam will drain from the pita bread, leaving dry areas on its surface. Simply fluff it with a fork.

The method of baking envelopes in the oven under a cheese cap is also very popular. This method is especially good if the filling does not contain cheese. Any variety that melts well will do.

Breadcrumbs give excellent results. They are used together with batter. First, the lavash envelopes are dipped in egg, then generously sprinkled with breading. By the way, instead of ordinary crackers, you can use semolina - then the surface will be uniform and neat, but just as crispy.

Filling for envelopes

This appetizer is truly universal, as many have already seen. And now the specifics - lavash envelopes (recipes with photos) with a wide variety of fillings. Let's look at three very tasty recipes.

Cheese cheese, spinach, green onions, dill, garlic, raw egg. This filling is perfect for making envelopes outdoors. Wrapped, they need to be placed on the grill grate and baked over coals. For the filling, not only feta cheese can be used, but also suluguni, feta, mozzarella, as well as any other type of soft sour cheese. If you don't have it, you can experiment even with homemade cottage cheese.

Ham, cheese for sandwiches. Lavash envelopes with this filling will be an excellent option for a snack. Making them couldn't be easier - you just need to put the ingredients on pieces of pita bread cut into squares, wrap tightly and fry in a frying pan. Batter goes very well with this recipe. If desired, you can also wrap a thin circle of tomato in the middle, placing it between the cheese and ham.

What is the most pressing question for almost every housewife? That's right - what to cook for breakfast. I’m no exception either - scrambled eggs, omelettes, cheesecakes and pancakes - all of this, of course, is delicious, but it gets boring pretty quickly. But one of my friends suggested an excellent option to me - fried lavash envelopes (almost the same as, only easier and faster to prepare).

Essentially, this is lavash in batter with a variety of fillings, at your discretion: from simple cheese to red fish. My favorite option, which suits everyone - both husband and daughter - is with chicken and cheese. It turns out nourishing, tasty, and also beautiful. As a rule, I prepare the filling in the evening, then in the morning all I have to do is form and fry the lavash envelopes in a frying pan. It takes very little time, so for me it is a very convenient breakfast option for the whole family.

Ingredients:

For 1 serving:

• 2 sheets of pita bread;
• 100 g chicken fillet;
• 50 g hard cheese;

Let's start with the filling. Boil the chicken fillet in salted water until tender, cool and cut into small cubes. Three hard cheeses on a coarse grater. Chop the parsley quite finely.

Mix the filling ingredients and place in the center of the lavash sheet. There should be enough space left on all sides so that you can then wrap the pita bread in an envelope from which the filling will not fall out.

The wrapped envelopes look like this.

Break the egg into a deep plate, add salt, black pepper and lightly beat with a fork until smooth - this will be our batter.

We dip the lavash envelopes with chicken into the batter and turn them over - it is important for us that the surface of the lavash is covered with egg on all sides.

And fry the lavash envelope in a frying pan with vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown.

The result is a very tasty dish: an omelette and lavash with filling – two in one. The tender center contrasts favorably with the crispy egg crust, so this breakfast is always eaten with great appetite.

Lavash envelopes with meat - recipe

Wash and finely chop the green onions. Place it in a bowl with minced meat. In winter, instead of green onions, you can also put onions, grated on a fine grater or chopped in a blender.

Add spices and salt.

Mix the meat filling for the lavash envelopes thoroughly with a spoon.

Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Ground black pepper - optional. Here I would like to note that to obtain a beautiful golden crust on lavash envelopes, as well as on any other dishes that are fried in beaten eggs, it is advisable to use homemade eggs. They have a richer yolk color than store-bought eggs. To get a bright color in the batter, add a pinch of turmeric. With its help, the egg mass will acquire a beautiful yellow color.

It is advisable to use lavash for making envelopes not oval, but square. Using scissors, cut it into squares measuring 15 by 15 cm or 12 by 12 cm. The size of the blanks for the envelopes may be different - this is not too important. It all depends on what size you want the snack to be. Apply minced meat to the pita bread in an even layer. Leave the edges of the pita bread without filling.

Fold it in half. Fold the resulting rectangle in half again.

Dip the envelope into a bowl with beaten egg.

Place them in a hot frying pan with sunflower oil. The lavash envelopes with meat are fried over low heat, without a lid. This will allow the meat to cook through.

Once the bottom is cooked through, turn it over to the other side.

Ready-made lavash pancakes are served as a hot appetizer along with spicy sauces. It could be spicy tomato sauce, tkemali, mustard. Although, even when they cool down, they still taste delicious. Enjoy your meal.
