Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, allowing some overhang around the edges. Gently press the pastry into the dish. Pour the slightly cooled sausage gravy into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the top of the gravy. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. If the edges of the pastry brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This rest period allows the gravy to set slightly, making for cleaner slices.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve the pie warm, sliced into generous wedges. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables, adding a fresh contrast to the rich flavors of the pie. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover the pie with foil and warm it in a 350°F oven until heated through, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
