Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cooked lobster meat
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dry sherry
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 sheet Puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish and set aside.
Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
Add the flour to the skillet and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to ensure the mixture remains smooth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream and dry sherry, and cook for another 2 minutes, continuing to stir.
Season the mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the chopped parsley and remove the skillet from the heat.
Gently fold the cooked lobster meat into the sauce, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Transfer the lobster mixture to the prepared pie dish.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit over the top of the pie dish.
Place the puff pastry over the lobster filling, tucking the edges under to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash evenly over the puff pastry to give it a golden finish during baking.
Cut a few small slits into the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Remove the lobster pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
