  • Peel, wash, and finely dice the onion. Heat a skillet with vegetable oil and cook the onion first until translucent, then until golden, stirring and keeping the heat moderate so it doesn't scorch. The bread for the patties doesn't need to be fresh — this is a great use for a few-day-old loaf you wouldn't want to eat on its own. Soak the bread in water and let it sit about 10 minutes to swell. Use any ground meat you like — chicken, beef, pork, turkey, or a blend all work well, and each gives a slightly different flavor. If you're not using pre-ground meat, run whole pieces through a grinder. Put the ground meat in a large bowl and add one egg, the fried onion, salt, and pepper. Wash, dry, and finely chop the dill, then add half of it to the meat. Squeeze the excess water from the bread and add it in too. Mix well, first with a fork and then with your hands, until the mixture is as uniform as possible. Form four large patties. Make a well in the center of each one — dampen the bottom of a glass (so the meat doesn't stick) and press it in to shape the well. Add oil to the skillet and heat it. Roll the patties in breadcrumbs and fry on both sides until golden. Grease a baking dish with butter. Set the patties in, well-side up. Crack an egg into the center of each, taking care not to break the yolk. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Judge doneness by the eggs — the whites should be set but not dried out. Serve the nests hot with boiled potatoes and dill, or any other side you like. Enjoy!
