Sausage Gravy Puff Pie

Sausage Gravy Puff Pie

Sausage Gravy Puff Pie is a comforting breakfast dish that combines flaky, buttery puff pastry with rich, creamy sausage gravy. Quick to prepare and perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches, this savory pie offers a delightful balance of textures and classic Southern flavors in an easy-to-make, shareable format.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sausage Gravy:

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Puff Pastry:

  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package directions. On a floured surface, roll them out slightly and cut into squares or rectangles sized for individual pies or one large pie.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground breakfast sausage until fully cooked and crumbly. Drain excess fat, leaving a little for richness.
  3. Make the Gravy: Add butter to the skillet with the sausage, then stir in the flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place one puff pastry piece on a lined baking sheet, spoon sausage gravy into the center, then cover with another pastry piece. Seal edges firmly and cut slits on top to vent steam.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let cool briefly before serving to allow the gravy to set.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold until use for maximum flakiness.
  • Cook roux long enough to avoid raw flour taste but do not brown.
  • Use whole milk or cream for richer gravy.
  • Seal pastry edges tightly to prevent leaks during baking.
  • Allow pie to cool slightly before slicing to let gravy set.
