Directions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 7–8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the sausage. Cook for 2 minutes. Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly until smooth.

Step 3: Season and Simmer

Add salt, pepper, sage, and optional red pepper flakes. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the gravy is thickened.

Step 4: Prepare the Pastry Crust

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9-inch pie dish with one sheet of puff pastry.

Step 5: Fill and Cover

Pour the sausage gravy into the pastry-lined dish. Top with the second puff pastry sheet, press edges to seal, and cut small slits on top for steam to escape.

Step 6: Bake and Rest

Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
