Lobster Pot Pie

So easy and yummy...

Ingredients
Frozen puff pastry, thawed (4 shells or 1 sheet)
2 Tablespoons butter
16oz frozen mixed veggies (corn, peas, carrots, beans)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chicken broth
~8oz lobster (fresh, canned, imitation...)


Directions

Preheat oven to 400 (or according to puff pastry package directions).

Melt butter on medium-low in large pan and stir in mixed veggies. Cook about 5 minutes, until no longer frozen. Meanwhile, whisk flour into milk and set aside.

After veggies are ready, reduce heat to low and stir chicken broth into veggies, followed by the milk-flour mix. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes, until sauce thickens.

Once thickened, stir lobster chunks into veggies - my grocery store didn't have fresh or canned, so I went for the imitation, which was pretty tasty. Salt & pepper to taste.

Transfer to baking dish (small casserole, individual baking bowls, pie pan, etc.). Top with puff pastry - so the grocer was out of sheets of puff pastry; only had individual shells left. The shells turned out pretty nicely, though - made for separating servings easily. Bake according to package directions (about 25 minutes) until golden brown.

Makes ~4 servings (that is, if your dog doesn't get on the counter and eat 2 of said servings).
