Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 2 cups Lobster Meat Substitution: Frozen lobster meat can be used if fresh is unavailable.

  • 1 cup Chicken or Seafood Stock
  • 1 medium Onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Carrots (diced) Substitution: Can swap for parsnips or sautéed leeks for variation.
  • 1 cup Celery (diced)
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme (chopped) Note: Double the amount for a more pronounced herbal taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Crust

  • 2 pre-made Pie Crusts Note: Homemade crust is an alternative for extra flakiness.
  • 1 beaten Egg For brushing the crust to achieve a golden finish.

Sautéing

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For sautéing vegetables, bringing rich flavor to the filling.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the diced carrots and celery, cooking for about 5 minutes until they just start to soften.
  • Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of chicken or seafood stock into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring frequently, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes.
  • Gently fold in the lobster meat and frozen peas into the creamy mixture. Allow this to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, and season the filling with chopped fresh thyme, a splash of lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  • Fit the bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges. Pour the lobster and vegetable filling into the crust.
  • Place the second pie crust over the filling, sealing the edges by crimping them together. Cut a few vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Before baking, brush the top crust with a beaten egg to create a beautifully golden finish.
  • Bake the assembled lobster pot pie for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
  • Once baked, remove the lobster pot pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor profile. Consider preparing ahead of time for stress-free meal planning.
