Ingredients

Pastry

Lobster Filling

Preparation

Prepare the Puff Pastry

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Roll Out Puff Pastry

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to about 1/8 inch thick.

3. Cut and Shape Pastry

Cut the pastry into circles (about 4 inches in diameter). Cut smaller circles for the tops. Arrange the larger circles on a baking sheet and brush with egg wash.

4. Bake the Pastry

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Prepare the Lobster Filling

5. Sauté Shallots

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and sauté until translucent.

6. Add Cream and Seasoning

Pour in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

7. Incorporate Lobster and Tarragon

Add the chopped lobster meat and tarragon to the cream sauce. Stir gently and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.

Assemble the Dish

8. Fill the Pastry

Gently remove the tops of the puff pastry shells. Spoon the lobster filling into each shell.

9. Serve

Replace the tops and serve immediately, garnished with additional tarragon if desired.
