Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Ground sausage	1 pound
All-purpose flour	¼ cup
Whole milk	2 cups
Salt and pepper	To taste
Puff pastry sheet	1
Egg	1 (for brushing the pastry)
Chopped parsley (optional)	For garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Brown the Sausage

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.

Step 2: Create the Gravy

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage and stir until fully incorporated. Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes to eliminate any raw flour flavor.

Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to create a smooth mixture.

Step 3: Simmer Until Thickened

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for approximately 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches a thick and creamy consistency.

Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Remove from the heat and allow the gravy to cool slightly.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit your baking sheet.

Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet and spoon the sausage gravy into the center, leaving a border around the edges.

Fold the pastry edges inward over the filling, creating a free-form rustic pie.

Step 5: Bake

Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the exposed pastry to encourage a golden, glossy finish.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, crisp, and beautifully golden brown.

Step 6: Serve

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for several minutes before slicing.

If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this savory pie with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or breakfast potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
