Step 1
Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high. Add pork and veal, breaking apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in shallot and thyme, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Transfer meat mixture to a 9-inch pie dish or keep in the skillet if oven-safe. Spread into an even layer.
Step 4
Unroll puff pastry and drape over the filling, tucking edges down slightly. Brush top with beaten egg.
Step 5
Bake at 400°F until pastry is deep golden brown, 12–14 minutes. A knife through the pastry should show golden, crispy layers.
Step 6
Rest 2 minutes, then serve hot directly from the pan or dish.
