Sausage Gravy Puff Pie

Step 3: Build the Creamy Gravy

Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. As the mixture heats, it will begin to thicken. Add salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings. Simmer gently for a few minutes until the gravy is rich, smooth, and spoon-thick. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4: Prepare the Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven and lightly grease a pie dish or baking pan. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and gently press it into the dish, allowing excess pastry to hang over the edges. Make sure the pastry sits snugly against the bottom and sides.

Step 5: Fill the Pie

Spoon the sausage gravy evenly into the pastry-lined dish. Spread it out gently so the filling is level and reaches the edges. Avoid overfilling, as the gravy will bubble slightly during baking.

Step 6: Add the Top Crust

Place the second puff pastry sheet over the filling. Trim any excess and crimp or fold the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the surface with beaten egg to achieve a glossy, golden finish.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

Bake the pie until the puff pastry is deeply golden and fully risen. The filling should be bubbling gently beneath the crust. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil and continue baking.

Step 8: Rest and Serve

Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for several minutes. This allows the gravy to set slightly, making slicing easier. Serve warm and enjoy the flaky crust paired with creamy, savory filling.
