Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lobster Pot Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of chicken or seafood broth. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Mix in 2 cups of chopped cooked lobster meat, 1/2 cup of frozen peas, 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, and 1 teaspoon of thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the lobster filling into a pre-made pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  7. Cover with a second pie crust, pinch edges to seal and cut slits for steam to escape.
  8. Apply a thin layer of beaten egg over the top crust for a golden finish.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  10. Let the Lobster Pot Pie cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
