Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients while waiting for the oven to heat up.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes.
- Add diced carrots and celery to the skillet, cooking for another 5 minutes until they soften, but still retain crunch.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of chicken or seafood stock, bringing it to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the lobster meat and frozen peas into the mixture, simmering for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and season the filling with fresh thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pour the filling, and spread it evenly.
- Cover the filled dish with the second crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits on top for steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes
Use fresh lobster meat for the best flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste, especially lemon juice, for brightness.
