Step-by-Step Instructions for Lobster Pot Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add diced onions and minced garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add diced carrots and celery to the skillet and sauté for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or seafood stock. Simmer and stir for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Fold in the lobster meat and frozen peas, allowing them to warm through for another 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in freshly chopped thyme and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, press firmly, and pour the lobster filling evenly into the crust.
  7. Cover with the second pie crust, seal the edges, and cut vent slits in the top crust.
  8. Brush the top crust with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  10. Let the Lobster Pot Pie rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
