Ingredients

Scale

Lobster Filling

  • 1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn), diced
  • 1 cup cream sauce (made from butter, flour, milk, and seasoning)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pie Crust

  • 1 prepared pie crust (9-inch), store-bought or homemade

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mixed diced vegetables, and the cream sauce. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the filling is evenly coated and flavorful.
  2. Assemble the Pie: Roll out the pie crust and line a 9-inch pie dish with it. Pour the lobster filling evenly into the crust, spreading it out smoothly.
  3. Top the Pie (Optional): If you have a second crust, cover the filling with it, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits on top of the crust for steam to escape.
  4. Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared pie on the middle rack and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality cooked lobster for the best flavor.
  • You can prepare the cream sauce ahead of time and refrigerate before mixing.
  • If you prefer, use puff pastry as a crust for a lighter texture.
  • The vegetables can be customized to your preference; mushrooms or green beans work well.
  • Make sure the pie has vent holes to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving to avoid burning from hot filling.
