Ingredients

• 6 pieces sausages
• 2 large yellow onions
• 3 medium potatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 sheet ready-made puff pastry
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onions. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onions and cook until caramelized, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes (about 1/2-inch). Boil them in salted water for 7-8 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet used for the onions, add the sausages and cook them until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove and slice into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

To the skillet with the onions, add the flour and stir well for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the beef stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens into a gravy.

Step 6

In a 9-inch round pie dish, layer the sausages, caramelized onions, and diced potatoes evenly. Pour the gravy over the layers, ensuring everything is coated.

Step 7

Roll out the puff pastry and carefully place it over the pie dish, trimming any excess. Tuck the edges in for a clean seal.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Brush this mixture over the pastry to ensure a golden crust.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Once slightly cooled, place a large plate over the pie and carefully flip it upside down to serve.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your English Sausage Upside Down Pie!
