Lobster Pie

"This is one of those dishes that my kids would never even taste because they didn't like the smell of the lobster. Now that they have tried it I have to share it! I usually just throw this together and never worry about measurements, but this is my best guess. Add or subtract to your liking."

directions

  • Break up cooked lobster meat.
  • I like to have mine broken rather small, again, you be the judge.
  • You can't really mess this recipe up.
  • Lay the meat in the bottom of a glass pan, the lobster should cover the bottom of the pan.
  • I have also made this in those individual little thingies you make onion soup in, this is nice if you are having company.
  • Pour some melted butter on top of the lobster.
  • Just enough to coat it a little.
  • At this point is when I usually start to pick at the lobster, You know: One for the pan, one for me!
  • TRY not to do this, it really is better if you have a nice amount of lobster at the bottom of the dish!
  • Pour some Half& Half over the meat next.
  • The milk should come just about half way up the meat, not cover it.
  • Don't worry if you think you have poured too much, it will be okay.
  • I did this once and looked like an idiot at the sink trying to pour out some milk while keeping the lobster in!
  • It will all work out in the end, promise!
  • Put in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes.
  • While this is cooking you can make the crust.
  • Super easy.
  • Just crush up the crackers, right in a frying pan.
  • Use the back of a big spoon, as fine as you like em.
  • I don't make mine super fine, just kinda crushed.
  • Then add whats left of the stick of butter.
  • You can add more if you think it is too dry.
  • Throw in the garlic and parsley.
  • Cook over low heat just to let the butter melt.
  • Stir it all together so the crackers get nice and coated.
  • Spread this evenly over the lobster.
  • Push it down a bit so that it can absorb the liquid in the pie.
  • Set back in the oven for about 5 minutes.
  • Let it sit on the counter for a couple minutes, just to set up and cool a bit.
  • And then enjoy!
  • That was sure a lot of typing for such an easy recipe, but it is worth it.
  • One of my favorie things to make and to eat!

  1. Delish!!! This is my go to with scallops too! (Bet it would be great with any shellfish!)
     
  2. I live in anchorage, Alaska, so getting Maine lobster is tricky and pricey. I did splurge, and bought a cooked lobster. I used this recipe, and man o man it was awesome! Easy, delicious, and a nice treat.
     
  3. simple and delicious. i added fresh squeezed lemon and additional dipping butter. yum, yum, yum - this will be my staple whenever we splurge for lobster meat. thanks lynie!
     
  4. Incredibly good. I made this for myself and my mother-in-law and we absolutely loved it. The half and half blends with the lobster broth and butter to made a sweet creamy sauce. I did not use garlic powder. Served it with lemon wedges. YUM!!!!!
     
  5. Thank you for the idea of adding the crackers on top for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
