Introduction
This is my version of lobster pot pie. It is adapted from the recipe found at Cosmopolitan.com. Although it may not seem "skinny-ed down" at first glance, a normal version of lobster pot pie can pack up to 900 calories and nearly 65 grams of fat! My recipe replaces highly caloric and fattening ingredients with more healthy choices while still maintaining all the delectable flavors! This is my version of lobster pot pie.

Ingredients
-
2 tbsp light buttery spread or margarine
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup non-fat (skim) milk
1 cup fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
1/2 lb. cooked lobster tail meat
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (keep in refrigerator until ready to use)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Set out two 2-cup individual ovenproof bowls. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add corn and peas. Stir in flour, and cook 1 more minute. Add milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Then remove from heat, add lobster and thyme. Set aside.
Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator. Cut the dough in half, and reserve one half for another use. On a lightly floured surface, flatten out the pastry, using a floured rolling pin, to about 1⁄8-inch thickness. Using one of the bowls as a guide, cut the pastry into two circles. Spoon the filling into the bowls, and place one circle of dough on top of each potpie, pressing the edges to seal the pastry to the bowl. Cut a vent in the center so air and moisture can escape. Place the potpies on a baking sheet. Bake until the pastry is puffed and becomes a dark golden brown shade, about 35 minutes.
Serving Size: Serves 2: 1 pot pie per person
