Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter with the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté it for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix well.
Add the cooled mushroom and spinach mixture to the bowl and stir until evenly incorporated.
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and press it into the prepared pie dish, leaving some overhang around the edges.
Pour the cheese, mushroom, and spinach filling into the pastry-lined dish, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim any excess pastry, and seal the edges by crimping or pressing with a fork.
Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Using a sharp knife, cut a few small slits in the top pastry layer to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown and flaky.
Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
