Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh lobster meat, cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken or seafood stock
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Crust and Finishing

  • 2 pre-made pie crusts (or homemade if preferred)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking your pot pie.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in diced carrots and celery, cooking for about 5 minutes or until they begin to soften to provide a tender vegetable base.
  4. Make the Filling: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or seafood stock, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer to combine flavors and thicken slightly.
  5. Incorporate Lobster and Peas: Add chopped lobster meat and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir well and allow to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through evenly.
  6. Season: Mix in fresh thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients, then remove the filling from heat.
  7. Prepare the Crust: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently to line the dish evenly. Pour the lobster filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Top with Crust: Place the second pie crust over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork to prevent leakage. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  9. Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny, golden-brown finish after baking.
  10. Bake: Place the assembled pie into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is beautifully golden and cooked through.
  11. Cool Down: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving to let the filling set.

Notes

  • Use fresh lobster meat for the best flavor; if unavailable, high-quality frozen lobster can work.
  • Homemade pie crust can add extra flavor but pre-made crusts save time and work well.
  • Ensure the filling is not too runny before baking; simmer longer if needed to thicken.
  • Making slits on the top crust prevents the pie from becoming soggy by allowing steam to escape.
  • Letting the pie cool before serving helps the filling set and slices to hold their shape.
