Place the oil in a small frying pan and place over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook gently until the onion is soft, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.Place the beef mince, breadcrumbs, eggs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg and parsley in a bowl and season. Add the cooled onion and garlic and mix well.
Mix through the wilted spinach. Divide the mixture between the dishes. Place a small fresh bay leaf on each.
Mix together the tomato juice, sugar and vinegar and pour over each mini meatloaf. Place dishes in a shallow baking tray and cover with a baking paper and foil lid, sealing well.
Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the baking paper and foil lid, before returning to the oven for a further 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave to sit for 10 minutes if serving hot, otherwise leave to cool before slicing.
