Ingredients

• 500 g ground meat (17.6 oz)
• 2 eggs
• 70 g breadcrumbs (2.5 oz)
• 1 medium onion
• 1 bunch dill
• 1 bunch parsley
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 tbsp tomato sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried garlic
• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• 100 g grated cheese (3.5 oz)
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 500 g puff pastry (17.6 oz)
• 50 g butter (1.8 oz)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 egg for brushing
• 2 gherkins
• 2 tbsp sour cream

Directions

1. Prepare the Meat Filling: Finely chop the onion, dill, parsley, and red bell pepper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with the ground meat, eggs, breadcrumbs, tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

2. Make the Creamy Topping: In a separate bowl, mash the hard-boiled eggs and mix them with grated cheese, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until you have a smooth and creamy topping.

3. Roll Out Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 3 mm thick. Melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic to create a garlic butter, then brush a layer over the puff pastry.

4. Assemble the Rolls: Evenly layer the prepared meat filling over the brushed puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon the creamy topping over the meat filling.

5. Roll and Cut: Carefully roll up the puff pastry from one end to the other. Cut the rolled pastry into even portions, about 5-7 cm (2-3 inches) wide. Place the cut pieces on a lined baking sheet, seam side down.

6. Bake: Beat the egg and brush over the top of each pastry roll. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.

7. Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature, paired with gherkins and a side of sour cream.
