Ingredients
1 cup lobster meat (cooked and chopped)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup white wine
1 small shallot (minced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup peas
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook lobster tails and claws for 5-6 minutes. Cool and chop into chunks.
2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté shallots and garlic until fragrant. Add carrots and cook 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in white wine, milk, and cream. Simmer 5 minutes until thickened.
4. Add thyme, salt, pepper, peas, and lobster meat. Cook 2 more minutes, remove from heat.
5. Spoon filling into a baking dish. Cover with puff pastry, trim edges, and cut slits for steam.
6. Brush with egg wash.
7. Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.
8. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
For best results, use an all-butter puff pastry—it bakes up richer and flakier.
Add a splash of cognac or paprika for a creative twist to the sauce.
