  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra richness)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

🔥 How to Make It

  1. Preheat oven:
    • Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the sausage:
    • In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Make the gravy:
    • Add butter to the sausage, then stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
    • Gradually whisk in milk until thickened and creamy.
    • Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in cheese if desired.
    • Let the gravy cool slightly before assembling the pie.
  4. Assemble the puff pie:
    • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
    • Spoon the sausage gravy onto half of the pastry, leaving a small border.
    • Fold over and seal the edges with a fork.
    • Brush the top with beaten egg for that golden finish.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve:
    • Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra gravy (if you saved a little!).
