Whisk the eggs, flour, cornmeal, milk, and salt in a deep bowl until you have a smooth, pourable batter; rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and grease it with butter.
Pour half of the batter into the pan in a thin layer and tilt the pan to spread it evenly.
When one side speckles after 2 minutes, turn it and cook the other side for 1 minute; transfer to a plate.
Cook the second kaygana the same way with the remaining batter.
Place crumbled white cheese on one half of the hot kaygana and fold it.
Transfer to a plate, drizzle extra butter over the top, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Use only a small amount of cornmeal; it gives a Black Sea signature, but too much makes the texture firm. Rest the batter for 5 minutes after whisking so the flour hydrates and the flexible texture of the kaygana settles.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Place crumbled white cheese on one half of the hot kaygana and fold it; transfer to a plate, drizzle with Black Sea butter, and serve with strong tea.
