Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (453 grams) sausage
- 1 package puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) milk
Seasoning and Spices:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
Optional Spice:
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, crumbling into small pieces until fully cooked and no pink remains.
- Dust the cooked sausage with flour, stirring thoroughly to coat and create a roux. Allow mixture to cook for 2 minutes, releasing a nutty aroma.
- Slowly pour milk into the skillet, continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat and simmer gravy for 5 minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and sage, blending flavors evenly.
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C), ensuring rack is positioned in the middle for even baking.
- Unroll first puff pastry sheet and carefully line a 9-inch pie dish, allowing edges to slightly overhang the rim.
- Pour prepared sausage gravy into pastry-lined dish, spreading uniformly to create an even layer.
- Cover the filling with second pastry sheet, trimming excess dough and crimping edges to create a tight seal.
- Cut several small vents on top crust to allow steam escape during baking.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry turns golden brown and becomes wonderfully flaky.
- Remove from oven and let pie rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing to allow filling to set.
- Serve warm, revealing delectable layers of savory sausage and creamy gravy nestled within buttery pastry.
