Instructions
Step 1
Begin by chopping 1 of the onions into small cubes. Heat some vegetable oil in a pan and add the chopped onion along with the mushrooms.
Sprinkle with a bit of salt and sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have released their moisture.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, the 2 additional chopped onions, the sautéed mushrooms, chopped parsley, and the spices.
Make sure to mix everything thoroughly until well combined. This ensures the flavors blend nicely.
Step 3
Take the puff pastry and roll it out on a floured surface. Place the greater portion of the meat mixture onto the pastry, leaving space in the center for the eggs.
Cut the tops off the hard-boiled eggs if desired, to reduce the amount of egg white seen when cut. Nestle the eggs in the center, then cover with the remaining meat mixture.
Step 4
Make slits along the sides of the pastry and fold them over the meat filling to create a braided effect.
Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 5
Once baked, remove the roll from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy this delightful festive dish with family and friends!

Faq
- What type of meat is best for this roll?
You can use a mix of **ground pork and beef** for the best flavor. However, you can also experiment with chicken or turkey!
- Can I prepare this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling and assemble the roll a day ahead, then bake it fresh when you're ready!
- How do I ensure my roll doesn't fall apart?
Make sure to properly seal the edges of the puff pastry and handle the roll gently when transferring it to the baking tray. A little care goes a long way!
- What can I serve with the roll?
It pairs wonderfully with potato salad, coleslaw, or a fresh garden salad. A side of dipping sauce can also elevate the meal!

The roll should be golden brown on the outside, and you can use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least **165°F (75°C)** for safety.
