Ingredients
Ingredient Amount
Breakfast sausage 1 lb
All-purpose flour ¼ cup
Whole milk 2 cups
Salt 1 tsp
Black pepper ½ tsp
Ground sage ½ tsp
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) ½ tsp
Puff pastry (thawed) 1 package
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and break it apart with a spoon. Cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned and small golden bits form on the bottom of the pan—these add lots of flavor!
Step 2: Make the Gravy
Sprinkle the flour over the browned sausage and stir to coat evenly. Let it cook for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent clumps. Raise the heat slightly and stir until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
Step 3: Season and Simmer
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Mix in the salt, black pepper, ground sage, and red pepper flakes if you’re using them. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens into a creamy, scoopable consistency. Take it off the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Prepare the Pie
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9-inch pie dish with one sheet of puff pastry, letting it hang slightly over the edges. Pour the sausage gravy into the prepared crust and spread evenly. Lay the second sheet of puff pastry over the top. Trim any excess dough and press the edges together to seal. Cut small slits into the top to release steam while baking.
Step 5: Bake and Serve
Transfer the pie to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This resting period helps the filling firm up for easier serving.
