Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Number of servings: 8 servings

Ingredients:
- 1.5 kg minced pork (or a combination with beef for a more complex flavor)
- 6 boiled eggs (about 10-12 minutes in boiling water)
- 2 raw eggs
- 3 slices of bread (preferably whole grain) soaked in milk
- A bunch of fresh dill (you can also use parsley or other herbs)
- Salt, to taste
- Thyme, to taste
- 2 sheets of pastry (store-bought, for added texture)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 head of garlic, finely chopped

Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Start by finely chopping the onion and sautéing it in a pan with a little oil until golden and soft. This will add a delicious flavor to your mixture. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients: boil the eggs in boiling water for 10-12 minutes, then let them cool and peel them.

Step 2: Mix the composition
In a large bowl, mix the minced meat with the sautéed onion, raw eggs, soaked bread slices, chopped garlic, fresh dill, salt, and thyme. Make sure to mix well to achieve a homogeneous mixture. This combination will give your roll a perfect texture and exquisite taste.

Step 3: Assemble the roll
Now comes the fun part! Grease two loaf pans with oil. Divide the meat mixture into two equal parts. On a greased pastry sheet, spread one part of the meat mixture, forming an even layer. Place 3 boiled eggs in the center, then carefully roll the sheet, ensuring the eggs stay inside. Repeat the process with the second part of the meat.

Step 4: Bake
Place the rolls in the pans and bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes, or until golden and well done. You can check if they are cooked using a kitchen thermometer; the internal temperature should be about 75°C.

Step 5: Serve
After the rolls have cooled slightly, slice them and serve with a fresh salad or vegetable sides. A great option would be mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Helpful tips:
- Use pork with a moderate fat content for a juicy roll.
- You can experiment with different herbs and spices: oregano, basil, or cumin can add new flavors.
- If you want a lighter dish, you can replace part of the meat with turkey or chicken.
- The roll can be prepared a day in advance; just reheat it before serving.

Nutritional benefits:
This meat roll is rich in protein due to the meat and eggs, providing considerable nutritional value. Dill adds not only flavor but also beneficial antioxidants for health. The bread slices provide carbohydrates that will give you the energy you need.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use beef instead of pork?
Yes, you can substitute pork with beef or a mix of meats, depending on your preferences.

2. What can I use instead of eggs?
If you prefer an egg-free version, you can use crumbled tofu or a mixture of flaxseeds with water to bind the mixture.

3. How can I store the roll?
The rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze them, sliced.
