Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Brown the Sausage:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
2️⃣ Make the Gravy:
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1–2 minutes to absorb the fat. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens (about 5–7 minutes). Season generously with salt and plenty of black pepper.
3️⃣ Prep the Pastry:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place it into a pie dish or line a baking sheet for a rustic slab pie style.
4️⃣ Fill It Up:
Spoon the warm sausage gravy into the center of the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edge. If using a second sheet, place it over the top and seal the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut small slits on top to vent.
5️⃣ Egg Wash & Bake:
Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry for a golden finish. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden.
6️⃣ Cool & Slice:
Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a crisp salad or just grab a fork and dig in!
Pro Tips for Puff Pie Success:
- Don’t overfill: Keep the gravy contained so it doesn’t leak during baking.
- Let the gravy cool slightly before adding it to the pastry—it helps prevent sogginess.
- No pie dish? Make it galette-style on a baking tray!
