Sausage Gravy Puff Pie

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Fill the pastry: Spoon a generous amount of sausage gravy onto one half of each puff pastry square, leaving about ½-inch border around the edges.
2. Fold and seal: Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
3. Prepare the egg wash: Beat the egg with 1 teaspoon of water and brush it over the top of each pie. This will give your puff pie a beautiful golden-brown shine.
4. Optional venting: Use a sharp knife to cut a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

1. Place the assembled puff pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
3. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

The Sausage Gravy Puff Pie is best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Serve it with a side of fresh fruit, a light salad, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick. The crispy, buttery puff pastry perfectly complements the creamy, savory sausage filling, making every bite a satisfying experience.

Tips for Success

• Keep the pastry cold: Working with cold puff pastry ensures it puffs up beautifully in the oven.
• Don’t overfill: Too much gravy can make the pastry soggy and harder to seal.
• Make-ahead option: Assemble the pies and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. Bake them straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

The Sausage Gravy Puff Pie is a comfort food masterpiece—easy to make, visually impressive, and delightfully satisfying. It’s a perfect weekend treat or brunch showstopper that will have everyone asking for seconds.
