Mix warm water and yeast in a bowl and let sit until foamy.

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture, milk, and olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into portions.

Roll each portion into a circle and place on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.

Mix cheeses in a bowl and place a generous amount in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, leaving the center exposed, to create a boat shape.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and crack an egg into the center of each Kachapuri.

Return to the oven and bake until the egg is set but still runny.

Brush the edges with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley and black pepper before serving.
