Preparation
Step 1
Melt 1/2 c. butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour and whisk until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, one minute. Gradually add chicken broth and half-and-half; increase heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in salt and pepper; set sauce aside.
Melt one tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and sauté 10 minutes, or until golden; add to sauce. Add remaining butter to skillet. Add onion; sauté until tender. Stir in peas. Add onion mixture, chicken and chopped eggs to sauce. Spoon into 6 lightly greased 8-ounce oven-proof ramekins.
Cut 6 circles, slightly larger than the diameter of the ramekins, from pie crusts. Top each ramekin with a pie crust circle; crimp edges and cut vents in tops. Beat together cream and egg; brush over pie crust.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
