Lobster Pie

Ingredients

• 2 Lobster tails (cooked and chopped)
• 3 Potatoes (peeled, boiled, and mashed)
• 2 tbsp Butter (for the potatoes and sautéing)
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream (for the sauce and potatoes)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the mashed potato topping by boiling peeled potatoes until tender, then mashing them with butter and a splash of heavy cream until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

2. 2

   Prepare the lobster meat by removing it from the shells and cutting it into bite-sized chunks.

3. 3

   In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté minced garlic in butter until fragrant, then add the lobster meat to warm through.

4. 4

   Stir in a small amount of heavy cream to create a light sauce around the lobster meat. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Transfer the lobster mixture into a small baking dish or individual ramekins.

6. 6

   Spread the prepared mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the lobster mixture. Use a fork to create ridges on the surface for extra crispiness.

7. 7

   Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the potato topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

8. 8

   Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
