Here’s a simple and classic recipe for Creamed Peas on Toast—a quick, comforting dish:
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 1 cup frozen or fresh peas
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk (or a bit more for thinner consistency)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 2–4 slices of bread, toasted
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Peas:
- If using frozen peas, cook them in boiling water for 2–3 minutes until tender, then drain.
- Make the Cream Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes until thickened, stirring constantly.
- Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Add Peas:
- Stir in the cooked peas and heat through for 2–3 minutes.
- Serve on Toast:
- Spoon the creamed peas over warm toasted bread slices.
- Garnish with parsley if desired.
💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the cream sauce.
- Use thick-cut or crusty bread to hold the sauce better.
- You can also sprinkle a little grated cheese on top for a richer variation.
