Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 ounces thinly sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon cognac or 1 tablespoon brandy
2 teaspoons flour
3 ounces shrimp stock
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons frozen green peas
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme
2 ounces cooked lobster meat
2 ounces lump crabmeat
2 teaspoons chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon minced tarragon
1/4 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium high heat.

  • Add shallots and cook until softened (about 1 minute).
  • Add Cognac and cook until it is almost completely evaporated.
  • Sprinkle flour over mixture, stir to combine, and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp stock and milk. Whisk until smooth. Cook until mixture is thickened.
  • Add heavy cream, peas, salt, nutmeg, cayenne, and thyme. Cook for 15 minutes or until sauce is thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Set aside until cooled.
  • While mixture is cooking, cut the lobster into bite sized pieces.
  • Add lobster, crab, chives, and tarragon to mixture.
  • Place in small (single serving) baking dish and set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry to 1/8 inch thickness.
  • Cut pastry, leaving enough room for 3/4 lip around baking dish.
  • Pinch pastry around edges of baking dish, sealing it.
  • Mix egg yolk and water.
  • Brush egg mixture on top of the pastry.
  • Cut one small slit in center of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and contents are bubbling.
