Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring often, until deep golden and softened, about 6 minutes.
Step 2
Remove skillet from heat. Lay the puff pastry sheet flat and spread caramelized onion and dill evenly across it, leaving a 0.5-inch border.
Step 3
Roll the pastry tightly into a log, starting from one corner. Slice crosswise into 1.5-inch rounds.
Step 4
Add crushed tomato and brown sugar to the same skillet. Nestle the pastry rounds and egg halves into the sauce.
Step 5
Simmer over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until the pastry is cooked through and sauce bubbles gently around the rolls.
Step 6
Serve hot directly from the skillet with warm pita or crusty bread.
