Notes
One way to elevate the dish is to use fresh dough. Though it is common to use a premade canned croissant or bread dough, using fresh dough creates a really crispy and fluffy crust that is perfect for absorbing the gravy and cheese.
Keep an eye on the thickness of the gravy. This recipe looks for a really nice and thick gravy, almost on the pasty end. This is because as the sausages bake in the oven, the oils will thin out the gravy.
