  • 1 lb Lobster meat Tender and succulent
  • 1 cup Heavy cream Rich and velvety
  • 1 cup Chicken stock or seafood stock Flavorful base
  • 1 medium Onion Diced finely for sweetness
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced for aromatic depth
  • 1 cup Carrots Diced for a hint of natural sweetness
  • 1 cup Celery Diced for crunch
  • 1 cup Frozen peas Vibrant and sweet
  • 1 tbsp Fresh thyme Chopped for a herbal lift
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice Brightening the dish
  • to taste Salt and Black pepper For seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For sautéing
For the crust
  • 2 Pre-made pie crusts For a flaky exterior
  • 1 medium Egg Beaten for glazing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) as you prepare the filling.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Building the filling
  1. Incorporate the diced carrots and celery into the skillet, cooking for about five minutes until softened.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or seafood stock, bringing your mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Fold in the lobster meat and frozen peas, allowing them to warm through for an additional five minutes.
  4. Stir in the fresh thyme, lemon juice, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let the filling sit.
Assembling the pie
  1. Fit one pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour in the lobster filling and spread it evenly.
  2. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges tightly and cutting several vent slits on top.
  3. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  2. Let the Lobster Pot Pie rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Consider adding a sprinkle of cheese under the top crust for indulgence. Sauté vegetables in a little butter for extra flavor. If making ahead, prepare the filling and refrigerate.
