Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add ground meat to the skillet, breaking it apart; cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Season with thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper; mix well.

Stir in diced potatoes and peas, then pour in chicken broth and heavy cream; simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Transfer the filling into the prepared pie crust.

Cover with the top crust, sealing the edges; cut slits for steam to escape.

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
