In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle with dried thyme, then cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and are browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the stock, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Season the soup with salt and black pepper. Turn off the heat and set the soup aside to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ladle the soup into 4 oven-safe bowls or ramekins, filling each to about 3/4 full.
Cut the pie dough into circles slightly larger than the rim of your bowls. Drape the dough over the top of each bowl and press lightly to seal along the edges. Trim any excess dough.
Brush the pie crust with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
Place the bowls onto a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is puffed and golden brown.
Carefully remove the bowls from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
