Description

Sausage Gravy Puff Pie is a comforting and hearty dish featuring a rich sausage gravy encased in flaky puff pastry. This recipe combines the savory flavors of seasoned browned sausage and a creamy milk-based gravy, all baked within a golden puff pastry crust for a perfect balance of textures and tastes. Ideal for a satisfying brunch or dinner, it’s easy to prepare and serves six generous portions.

Ingredients

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 lb sausage
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Pastry

  • 1 package puff pastry, thawed (typically contains 2 sheets)

Instructions

  1. Cook sausage and prepare gravy: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Once browned, sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage and stir well. Let this mixture cook for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  2. Add milk and thicken gravy: Gradually pour the milk into the skillet while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency. Season with salt, black pepper, ground sage, and crushed red pepper flakes if using, then remove from heat.
  3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal baking temperature while you assemble the pie.
  4. Prepare bottom puff pastry crust: Roll out one sheet of thawed puff pastry and carefully line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, letting some pastry overhang the edges for sealing later.
  5. Fill with sausage gravy: Pour the prepared sausage gravy evenly into the pastry-lined pie dish, smoothing the surface gently.
  6. Top with second puff pastry sheet: Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim any excess pastry from the edges, then crimp or pinch the edges together to seal the pie completely. Cut a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  7. Bake the pie: Position the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set the gravy before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the combination of hearty sausage gravy with crisp, buttery puff pastry.

Notes

  • For a spicier pie, increase crushed red pepper flakes to taste or add a dash of hot sauce to the gravy.
  • Make sure to thaw puff pastry sheets properly before use to prevent cracking or tearing when rolling out.
  • Use a 9-inch pie dish for best results to ensure even cooking and proper filling distribution.
  • Leftover pie can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to retain flakiness.
  • Ground sage can be substituted with thyme or rosemary for a different herb flavor.
