Method
 

Preparation
  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, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in diced carrots and celery, sauté for another 5 minutes until soft but still crunchy.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and either chicken or seafood stock, mixing well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add in cooked lobster meat and frozen peas, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Season the filling with fresh thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
  7. Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and pour the lobster filling evenly.
  8. Lay the second pie crust over the top, crimp the edges, and cut slits for steam vents.
  9. Whisk together egg and water for egg wash, and brush over the top crust.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  11. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
