1-Getting started with Cheddar Bay Seafood Pie: First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your seafood by ensuring it is cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces. This helps everything blend well and cook evenly in the pie.

2-Sauté aromatics: Next, in a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until translucent and aromatic, building a flavorful base for the filling.

3-Combine seafood with aromatics: Then, add the cooked seafood mix to the skillet and stir to combine with the aromatics, letting the flavors meld together.

4-Add cream and seasoning: Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste for that perfect balance.

5-Add cheese and herbs: Stir in shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and the mixture has thickened slightly, creating a creamy texture that’s hard to resist. Fold in chopped parsley and remove from heat,

6-Assemble the pie: then line a pie dish with the puff pastry, trimming excess edges and pouring the seafood filling evenly into the crust.

7-Add top crust and bake: Finally, cover the filling with another layer of puff pastry, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam to escape, then bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

8-Cool and serve: Let it cool slightly before serving to enjoy the full flavors.
