Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté shallots, leeks, carrots, celery, and diced red potatoes for about 6 minutes.
  2. Pour in 1/2 cup of sherry, stirring to deglaze the skillet. Cook off for about 5 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
  3. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and melt completely. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, cooking for about 1 minute until bubbly.
  4. Whisk in 2 cups of seafood stock thoroughly with the roux. Stir in fresh tarragon, kosher salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 cups of chopped cooked lobster meat. Add a pinch of cayenne and mix well.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Roll out thawed puff pastry to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes to cover baking dishes.
  7. Spoon the lobster filling into baking dishes. Cover with puff pastry and brush with beaten egg. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.

Notes

For best results, thaw puff pastry overnight. Avoid overcooking lobster to prevent rubbery meat. Make steam vents in pastry for even cooking.
