How to Make Lobster Pot Pie Ultimate Seafood

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Dice your vegetables small so they cook evenly and release their flavors fully.

Assemble Your Pie : Pour your delicious filling into a pie crust-lined baking dish. Top with another pie crust or lattice if you’re feeling fancy! Cut slits into the top crust to let steam escape.

Bake Until Golden : Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy watching it bubble joyfully while you wait!
