In a separate pot take the milk and the cream and start cooking and brink it to boil.  Now, add the cooked chicken-veggie mixture in it. Add the corn starch mixture and stir it gently <To make the sauce a bit thick>. Distribute the mixture in 5 pie shell equally. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Cover it with the pie shell and close it <Make sure the edges are tight, you may use a fork to close it properly>. Take the egg yolk in a cup, add 2-3 tea spoons water and blend it well.
