Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Roll the pastry tightly into a log, starting from one corner. Slice crosswise into 1.5-inch rounds.

  4. Step 4

    Add crushed tomato and brown sugar to the same skillet. Nestle the pastry rounds and egg halves into the sauce.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until the pastry is cooked through and sauce bubbles gently around the rolls.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot directly from the skillet with warm pita or crusty bread.
