Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in diced carrots and chopped celery; cook for another 5 minutes until softened.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken or seafood stock; stir and let simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Gently fold in lobster meat and frozen peas, heating on low for 5 minutes.
- Add fresh thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste; simmer briefly before removing from heat.
- Fit one pie crust into a dish, pour in the filling, and cover with the second crust, sealing edges and creating slits for steam.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg for glaze.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and filling bubbles.
- Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes
Avoid soggy crust by pre-baking the bottom. You can make the filling ahead and store it in the refrigerator before assembling and baking the pie.
