Ingredients
Method
- Cook the Sausage Gravy:
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir well, cooking for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
- Season with salt, pepper, sage, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out one puff pastry sheet and line a 9-inch pie dish, leaving some overhang.
- Pour the sausage gravy into the pastry-lined dish, spreading evenly.
- Roll out the second pastry sheet and place it on top, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork.
- Trim excess dough and cut a few small slits in the top to vent steam.
- Bake & Serve:
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky.
- Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the rich, flaky layers!
Notes
Make Ahead: Prepare the gravy a day ahead for quicker assembly.
Extra Flaky Crust: Brush the top pastry with an egg wash before baking.
Variations: Add sautéed onions or shredded cheese to the gravy for extra flavor.
