Description
A savory pie filled with sausage gravy tucked into a flaky biscuit or puff pastry crust, perfect for brunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (whole or 2% recommended)
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough or puff pastry
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (optional for egg wash)
- A pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened (3–5 minutes), then season with salt, pepper, and optional extras.
- Press half the biscuit dough (or puff pastry) into the pie dish to form a crust.
- Pour the gravy into the crust and spread evenly.
- Cover with the remaining dough, seal edges, and cut vents in the top crust.
- Brush with beaten egg if using.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a creative twist, consider using bacon or plant-based sausage, and feel free to adjust the levels of spices according to taste.
