Sausage Gravy Biscuit Pie
A delicious comfort food combining savory sausage with creamy gravy, wrapped in flaky, buttery pastry. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any meal.
Ingredients
For the sausage gravy
- 1 lb sausage Use a good quality sausage for the best flavor.
- 2 cups milk You can substitute half-and-half or almond milk for a healthier option.
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Don't skip the spices; they enhance the overall flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Optional for a spicy kick.
For the crust
- 1 package puff pastry, thawed You can use homemade pastry if you prefer.
Instructions
Cooking the gravy
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir it in. Let it cook for about 2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Increase the heat to medium-high until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and sage.
Preparing the pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, allowing some overhang around the edges.
- Pour the sausage gravy into the pastry-lined dish, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the top of the sausage gravy. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Serving
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the hearty layers of sausage, gravy, and flaky pastry.
Notes
Sausage gravy biscuit pie is best served warm. You can enjoy it on its own, or pair it with fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. This pie also works well for brunch when served alongside eggs or hash browns. To store any leftover pie, let it cool completely. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
