Melt the butter with olive oil in a hot pan. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped shallot, and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and nutmeg.
Add the spinach and sauté until wilted. Pour in the vegan cream and let it reduce for about 10 minutes. Refrigerate this mixture for 2 hours.
Cut out discs from the puff pastry using a bowl. Place some filling on one half of the circle, leaving a border.
Fold the filled circle in half. Press the edges firmly and crimp the border to seal the handpie. Arrange the handpies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Make some slashes on top with a knife and brush with beaten egg. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
And there you have it, your mini handpies are ready!
