    Method

    • To prepare Lobster Thermidor Pie, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

    • Once the mixture has thickened, add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, parsley, and tarragon. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Next, remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the lobster meat. 
    • Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust and top with the Parmesan and Gruyere cheese. 
    • Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
