Carrots, peeled and diced	3
Cloves garlic, minced	2
Flour	1/4 cup
Chicken stock	2 cups
Heavy cream	1 cup
Dried thyme	1 tsp.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Gradually add chicken stock, whisking constantly until smooth. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
4. Add thyme, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir in lobster meat and cook until heated through about 5 minutes.
5. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to cover the top of the dish. Cut a small slit in the center of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush with beaten egg.
6. Repeat with the remaining sheet of puff pastry and place over the top of the pie. Brush with remaining egg.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is hot and bubbly.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
