Instructions
Creating the Lobster Pot Pie Ultimate Seafood is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Make the Sauce: Stir in the flour, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually pour in the broth and cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
4. Add Lobster and Veggies: Fold in the lobster meat and the frozen peas and carrots. Mix until well combined.
5. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish, making sure to leave some overhang.
6. Fill the Pie: Pour the lobster mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Cover with Crust: Place another pie crust over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Egg Wash: Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
