Instructions
Step 1
Start by cutting the lavash into rectangles or squares, approximately 15x15 centimeters (about 6x6 inches) for easy folding. This will ensure that each lavash pocket can hold the filling securely.
Step 2
For the filling, finely slice or grate the cheese. Then, cut the sausage into thin strips. Also, chop the tomato into small pieces and mix it in a bowl with the sour cream. This mixture will serve as a delicious, creamy filling for your pockets.
Step 3
Take a piece of lavash and place a generous amount of the filling in the center. To form a pocket or roll, first tuck the edges of the lavash inward. Then, roll it up tightly. If you’re concerned about the pockets falling apart, you can seal the edges with a beaten egg or a splash of water.
Step 4
Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled lavash pockets in the pan and fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown crust. Make sure to keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Step 5
Once golden and crispy, remove the pockets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. This step will help keep them from getting greasy, ensuring a lovely texture when served.
Servings
**Pro tip:** Serve with a side of creamy sour cream or zesty salsa for an irresistible combination! Your guests will be begging for the recipe!
Equipment
A non-stick skillet is ideal for frying the lavash pockets evenly without sticking. Ensure your skillet is preheated to get that crispy texture! Keep the heat medium-low to avoid burning.

Variations
Vegan Variation: Swap out the cheese for a plant-based alternative and use a vegan sausage or grilled veggies instead of meat. You won’t even miss the dairy! 🌱
Faq
- What type of cheese is best for these pockets?
A blend of mozzarella and cheddar works wonderfully, as they melt well and provide great flavor!
- Do I have to use sausage? Can I try other fillings?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with fillings. Try cooked chicken, roasted vegetables, or even a mix of cheeses!
- How do I know if my lavash is crispy enough?
It should turn golden brown and should feel firm to the touch. If it’s soft, give it a few more minutes on the skillet!
- Can I prepare these ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the pockets in advance and refrigerate them. Just fry them when you’re ready to serve!
- I’m worried about them breaking apart during frying. What can I do?
Make sure they are tightly folded, and using an egg wash on the edges can help seal them shut.
- What oil should I use for frying?
You can use vegetable oil or butter. Each gives a slightly different flavor, so choose according to your taste preferences!
