Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 pound halal ground sausage (beef or chicken sausage with mild or spicy seasoning)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 package puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
Directions
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground halal sausage. Cook for 7–10 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt, black pepper, ground sage, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat and allow the gravy to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving a small overhang around the edges.
Pour the sausage gravy into the pastry-lined dish and spread it evenly.
Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim excess pastry, crimp the edges to seal, and cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake on the middle rack for 25–30 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Variations
Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese to the gravy for a richer filling.

Storage/Reheating
Store leftover pie slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
