Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Incorporate diced carrots and celery into the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken or seafood stock, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add cooked lobster meat and frozen peas to the skillet, simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in fresh thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool briefly.
  7. Wrap a 9-inch pie dish with one rolled-out pie crust, pour in the lobster filling.
  8. Place the second rolled-out pie crust over the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits on top.
  9. Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
