- Spread cheese on pastry. Top with endives. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Right out of the oven, sprinkle with parsley.
- Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown sausage slices in remaining butter (15 ml/1 tablespoon) for about 1 minute on each side. Place sausage on pie. Cut into six portions and serve with lamb's lettuce or arugula.
