Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 puff pastry sheets

  • 8 oz ground sausage

  • ¼ cup flour

  • ¼ cup milk (plus more as needed)

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1½ cups frozen shredded hash browns

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

  • 4 slices Havarti or cheddar cheese

  • 4–6 oz bacon

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Cook sausage in a pan until browned. Add flour to make a roux, then stir in milk and pepper. Adjust thickness by adding more milk if needed. Set aside.

  • Prepare bacon however you like—air fryer, stovetop, or microwave. Crumble once done.

  • Fry hash browns until golden and crispy. Use minimal oil to avoid sogginess.

  • Mix egg and cream in a bowl. Set aside.

  • Assemble the bars:

    • Lay 1 puff pastry sheet on baking tray.

    • Layer sausage gravy, hash browns, half the egg mixture, cheese slices, bacon, and shredded cheese.

    • Top with second puff pastry, seal edges with a fork, brush with egg wash.

  • Bake for 18–23 mins until golden brown. Let cool slightly, then slice into 9 bars.

Notes

  • Thaw the Puff Pastry Properly
    Let the pastry sheets thaw in the fridge overnight or for 30–40 minutes at room temperature. Cold but pliable pastry works best!

  • Keep the Edges Clear
    Leave about an inch of space around the edges when layering the filling to ensure the pastry seals properly and puffs up beautifully.

  • Dry Hash Browns = Crispy Bars
    Make sure to cook the hash browns until golden and dry—this keeps the inside of the bars from getting soggy.

  • Thicker Gravy, Better Layers
    A drier sausage gravy helps hold everything together and makes cutting much cleaner. Add milk sparingly.

  • Customize Your Fillings
    Try adding diced peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to sneak in extra veggies and flavor!
