Lobster Filling:
- 2 cups cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken or seafood broth
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup carrots, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Crust:
- 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until they soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir constantly for about 1 minute to create a roux.
- Add Liquid: Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and broth. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Lobster and Seasoning: Remove from heat and stir in the chopped lobster, peas, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the lobster mixture into a pie dish lined with your pie crust. Spread it evenly.
- Cover with Pie Crust: Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Pinch the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra touch of luxury, consider adding a splash of sherry to the filling.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables or seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
