Preparation
Cook 4 eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Transfer to cold water, then peel.
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, ground veal, 1 egg, chopped garlic clove, chopped shallot, salt, pepper, thyme, fresh parsley, and nutmeg.
Unroll the first puff pastry, place the loaf pan on top, and cut around the pan. Place the second puff pastry in the greased pan.
Spread half of the filling in the puff pastry, then place the 4 hard-boiled eggs on top. Cover with the remaining filling.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Separate the egg white from the yolk of the last egg. Fold the puff pastry over the filling. Brush with egg white.
Place the puff pastry rectangle on top and fold the dough inward using a spoon. Create a pattern on the pastry and brush with egg yolk.
Bake your pie in the oven for 50 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
