A golden, flaky puff pastry crust wrapped around creamy, savory sausage gravy—this comforting dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or cozy dinners!
Ingredients
For the Filling (Sausage Gravy):
1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk (warm)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
For the Pie:
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into crumbles until fully browned and cooked through.
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to coat it evenly. Let it cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the warm milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes if using.
Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the gravy thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Assemble the Pie:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry slightly and place it into a greased 9-inch pie dish or baking pan.
Pour the sausage gravy into the crust and smooth out the top.
Optionally, place another sheet of puff pastry on top and crimp the edges or leave it open-faced.
Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
3. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
