Description
A comforting and savory pie featuring creamy sausage gravy wrapped in flaky biscuit or puff pastry.
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk (whole milk recommended)
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough or puff pastry
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra cracked black pepper for serving (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a pie dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the milk gradually, stirring until thickened into gravy, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roll out the biscuit dough or puff pastry. Fill the pie dish with the sausage gravy mixture and cover with additional pastry if desired.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a lighter option, consider using 2% milk or plant-based alternatives. Adjust the seasoning cautiously due to the saltiness of pre-made pastries and sausage.
