Description

This Lobster Pie is a delightful dish that even skeptics of lobster flavors will love! It’s simple to prepare and allows for adjustments based on personal preferences. The combination of lobster, butter, and creamy half-and-half creates a decadent yet easy-to-make seafood dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 lobsters, cooked and meat removed
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Parsley, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • 1 cup half-and-half (approximately)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lobster:

    • Break up the cooked lobster meat into small pieces. Ensure the pieces are evenly sized, but you can adjust according to your preference.
  2. Layering the Dish:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Spread the lobster meat evenly on the bottom of a glass baking dish. For individual servings, you can use small oven-safe dishes.
    • Drizzle melted butter over the lobster meat, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  3. Adding the Half-and-Half:

    • Pour the half-and-half over the lobster meat. The liquid should come about halfway up the lobster pieces, but it should not cover them completely. Adjust the amount according to your preference for creaminess.
  4. Baking the Pie:

    • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and just beginning to bubble.
  5. Preparing the Crust:

    • While the lobster mixture is baking, prepare the crust. Crush the crackers in a frying pan using the back of a large spoon until they are fine but still slightly textured.
    • Melt the remaining butter in the pan with the crushed crackers over low heat. Add garlic powder and parsley to taste, stirring to coat the crackers evenly with butter and seasonings.
  6. Finishing Touches:

    • Remove the dish from the oven and spread the buttery cracker mixture evenly over the top of the lobster and cream mixture.
    • Press down slightly on the cracker mixture to allow it to absorb some of the liquid from the pie.
  7. Final Baking:

    • Return the dish to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Resting and Serving:

    • Allow the Lobster Pie to cool for a few minutes on the counter to set before serving.
    • Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, flavorful dish!

This Lobster Pie recipe is versatile and forgiving, allowing you to adjust ingredients to your taste preferences. It’s perfect for a special dinner or when you want to impress guests with a delicious seafood treat that’s easy to prepare yet full of flavor. Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast or trying lobster for the first time, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen!
