Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Boil diced potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
Heat half-and-half and butter together until warm. Mash into the potatoes along with salt, pepper, and egg yolk until smooth.
In a skillet, sauté onions, carrots, and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add ground lamb and cook until browned.
Stir in flour, tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and thyme. Simmer until thickened, then add peas and corn.
Spread the lamb mixture in a baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes, sealing the edges. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden.
