Instructions

Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the thawed puff pastry slightly and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife to score a 1-inch border around the edges without cutting all the way through to help contain the gravy during baking.
Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Avoid draining the fat unless there is an excessive amount. This fat helps flavor the gravy.
Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat evenly. Cook the mixture for about 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, stirring continuously. Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Simmer the gravy for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens and becomes creamy, then remove from heat.
Assemble the Pie: Spoon the sausage gravy into the center of the puff pastry, keeping well within the scored border to prevent spillage. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, glossy finish upon baking.
Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed up, golden brown, and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh color and flavor accent. Serve warm as a satisfying breakfast, brunch, or even a cozy dinner entrée.

Notes

This dish is versatile and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a casual dinner.
Serve alongside eggs, fresh fruit, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
For a spicy variation, substitute regular sausage with hot sausage and add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Make sure not to cut through the puff pastry border to hold the gravy securely while baking.
Using whole milk ensures a rich and creamy gravy but you can substitute with 2% milk if desired.
