Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the low-fat Greek yogurt and water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
In a separate bowl, crumble the low-fat feta cheese and mix it with part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Add the chopped fresh dill to the cheese mixture and set aside.
Divide the dough into four equal parts, and roll each into a small oval, about 1 cm thick.
Place a quarter of the cheese mixture in the center of each oval and spread it evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese slightly to form a boat shape.
Transfer the prepared khachapuri boats to the baking sheet.
Beat the egg white and brush over the edges of the dough for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden brown.
Remove the khachapuri from the oven, and using a spoon, make a small well in the center of the cheese.
Crack an egg into each well and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat khachapuri!
