- Pour the filling into a baking dish. Top with puff pastry, seal edges, vent, and brush with egg wash.
- Bake at 400º F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
- For lobster meat, you can use a whole lobster or pre-cooked lobster tails.
- Make sure to vent the puff pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
