Sausage Gravy Puff Pie

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage until browned. Remove the sausage and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
3. Add butter to the skillet, then whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
4. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into gravy.
5. Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy, then season with sage, pepper, and salt. Let cool slightly.
6. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into two equal rectangles. Place one rectangle on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Spread the sausage gravy in the center, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
8. Place the second puff pastry rectangle on top. Press edges together firmly to seal, then cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
9. Brush the pastry with beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
10. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until puffed and deep golden brown.
11. Slice and serve warm.

Variations:

• Cheesy Twist: Stir 1/2 cup shredded cheddar into the gravy for extra richness.
• Herb Upgrade: Add thyme or rosemary for a more aromatic filling.
• Mini Pies: Cut pastry into smaller squares and make individual handheld versions.
• Breakfast Feast: Layer scrambled eggs inside with the gravy for a fuller breakfast bake.

Tips:

• Let the gravy cool slightly before filling to prevent soggy pastry.
• Seal the pastry edges well with a fork to keep the filling contained.
• For extra crispiness, bake on the lower rack of the oven.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to keep the pastry flaky.
