Georgian egg bread, or kikliko, in a round white plate on a brown platemat next to silver knife

Georgian Egg Bread (Kikliko) with Adjika Butter

In Georgia (the country, not the state!), breakfast is a simple affair of eggs, bread, protein, and condiments. Kikliko is the equivalent of Georgia's version of a simple French toast. This Georgian egg bread, or kikliko, recipe uses a national staple ingredient called adjika. It's savory, salty, and just a tad spicy!
