Lobster Pot Pie is a luxurious twist on a classic comfort dish, featuring tender lobster meat and vegetables in a creamy sauce, all baked under a golden, flaky puff pastry crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup seafood or chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Sprinkle in flour and stir to form a roux; cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in stock, then add cream and wine. Stir and cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes.
  6. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Fold in the lobster meat and remove from heat.
  7. Transfer filling to individual ramekins or a baking dish.
  8. Cut puff pastry to fit over the tops of dishes. Place over filling and crimp edges to seal. Brush with egg wash.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  10. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked lobster or cook tails and claw meat fresh.
  • You can substitute seafood stock with chicken stock if needed.
  • Let the filling cool slightly before topping with pastry to prevent sogginess.
