Mini Lobster Pot Pies

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: american
Keyword: pie

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 onion finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • salt & pepper
  • 6 tbsp flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large potato diced and blanched
  • 1 large carrot diced and blanched
  • 1 cup frozen peas defrosted
  • 1 cup frozen corn defrosted
  • meat from 2-3 lobsters cooked
  • basic pie crust rolled to 1/8 inch-thickness (recipe here)
  • 1 beaten egg

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a frying pan set to medium heat. Add the onions and celery and cook for 2 minutes. Add the salt, pepper and flour and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Reduce to low heat and simmer until the stew thickens, 8-10 minutes. Add the milk and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the potatoes, carrot, peas, corn, lobster and tarragon. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Pour the stew into 6 ramekins.
  • Cut the pie crust into 6 circles that are slightly bigger than the rim of the ramekins. With the remaining pie crust, cut out 6 hearts and gently press one heart onto the center of each circle of dough.
  • Place the crust on top of the ramekins and tuck the edges of the crust into the edges of the ramekins with a fork. Gently make two slits on either side of the hearts, then brush with the beaten egg. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake at 400F for 35-40 minutes until the crust is brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving.
