Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and ensure the lobster meat is cooked and chopped into bite-size pieces.
Cooking the Base
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour, salt, and black pepper, stirring together, and cook for about one minute until it forms a paste.

Assembling the Pie
- Place the pie crust in a pie dish and pour the lobster filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
Baking the Pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Cooling and Garnishing
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serving
- Slice the pie and serve it warm.
Notes
Consider adding herbs like thyme or chives for extra flavor. For a vegan version, use jackfruit or hearts of palm instead of lobster.
