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

Pie & 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 get ready for baking the pie.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in diced carrots and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften but still retain some bite.
  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 slightly thicken.
  5. Incorporate Lobster and Peas: Add the chopped lobster meat and frozen peas. Stir well and let the filling simmer for 5 more minutes to blend the ingredients fully.
  6. Season: Add fresh chopped thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly and remove the skillet from heat.
  7. Prepare the Crust: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently along the edges.
  8. Fill the Pie: Pour the lobster filling evenly into the crust-lined dish.
  9. Top with Crust: Place the second pie crust over the top of the filling. Seal the edges by crimping them with a fork and cut small slits on the top to allow steam to escape while baking.
  10. Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny golden finish after baking.
  11. Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is beautifully golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Cool Down: Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • Use cooked lobster meat, either fresh or pre-cooked, to save time and ensure even cooking.
  • If preferred, homemade pie crust can be used instead of pre-made ones.
  • Cut slits in the top crust to prevent the pie from becoming soggy by letting steam escape.
  • Letting the pie rest before serving helps the filling to firm up, resulting in cleaner slices.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free pie crust.
