Everything necessary is pre-cooked, the meats, the mushrooms & spinach,
are all then wrapped up in dough and baked just long enough to cook the
dough and melt the cheese and heat the entire dish.

The spinach is blanched or steamed, pressed to remove moisture and
seasoned with just S & P & a little lemon juice. The mushrooms are
cooked in butter & garlic, any small dice of shallots or onions
optional. If desired a roux and wine/cream/stock can be added to the
cooked mushrooms

Iirc there is both sliced ham and roast beef layered with a couple of
different cheeses & the veggies

It looks very plain when served with just a bit of garnish on a white
platter but once its cut into and all the layers become apparent its
like a hot slice of meat and cheese cake
