Boil 1 liter of water and add 7 eggs; let boil for about 10 minutes.

Transfer boiled eggs to ice water to cool down.

Soak stale bread in milk (or water for kosher) and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat; add diced onion and sauté until translucent.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant; remove from pan and set aside.

In a bowl, combine 0.5 kg ground pork and 0.5 kg ground beef.

Add 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt to the meat mixture.

Add a raw cracked egg and soaked bread to the meat mixture; mix thoroughly.

Incorporate the sautéed onions and garlic into the meat mixture.

If the mixture is too wet, add panko breadcrumbs until desired consistency is reached.

Shape the meat mixture into a rectangle on a clean surface, about the width of a baking tray.

Arrange boiled eggs in a line towards one edge of the rectangle and shape the meat around the eggs to form a loaf.

Place the meatloaf in a loaf pan and pour vegetable stock over it.

Bake in a 180°C oven for about 50 minutes.

Brush the top with oil and broil for 5 to 10 minutes until crispy.

Cover with tinfoil and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
