Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until thin.

Line a baking dish with half of the pastry, allowing excess to hang over the edges.

Sauté onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Combine ground pork, ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, cream, thyme, bay leaf, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Mix until well combined, then fold in chopped parsley and mushrooms.

Transfer the meat mixture into the lined baking dish.

Fold the overhanging pastry over the filling, sealing the edges.

Cover with the remaining pastry, pressing to seal and trimming excess.

Make a few slits on top for steam to escape.

Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake for 45-50 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.

Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
