Sausage Gravy Puff Pie (Print-Friendly Version)

Buttery puff pastry wrapped around savory sausage gravy, baked to golden perfection. Family favorite comfort.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Sausage Gravy Filling

01 - 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 2 cups whole milk
05 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Pastry and Finish

07 - 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen (9- to 10-inch square)
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 1 tablespoon water

# How to Make It:

01 - Set the oven to 400°F.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving a small amount for flavor.
03 - Stir in unsalted butter and let it melt. Sprinkle the flour into the pan, whisking to incorporate, and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
04 - Slowly pour in whole milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a rich, creamy gravy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
05 - Add kosher salt and black pepper to the gravy. Mix until evenly distributed.
06 - If needed, gently roll the thawed puff pastry to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Lay the pastry into the dish so the edges come up the sides.
07 - Pour the hot sausage gravy evenly into the pastry-lined pie dish.
08 - Trim any overhanging pastry dough and crimp or fold edges as desired.
09 - Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl. Brush the mixture onto the edges and top of the pastry as desired.
10 - Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
11 - Allow the pie to rest a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - If desired, garnish the baked pie with fresh parsley for a bright, flavorful finish.
