Making Lobster Pot Pie is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the carrots and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
4. Make the Filling: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or seafood stock. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Incorporate Lobster and Peas: Add the chopped lobster meat and frozen peas, stir well, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
6. Season: Add the thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the filling is well combined, then remove from heat.
7. Prepare the Crust: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour in the lobster filling, spreading it evenly.
8. Top with Crust: Place the second pie crust over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping them with a fork. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
9. Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown.
11. Cool Down: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll have a stunning Lobster Pot Pie that is both visually appealing and delicious!
