Ah, Creamed Peas on Toast—classic comfort food! Simple, creamy, and perfect for a quick lunch or cozy snack. Here’s an easy recipe:
Creamed Peas on Toast
Ingredients (2 servings)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional, adds warmth)
- 2 slices of bread, toasted
Instructions
- Cook the peas
- Boil or steam peas until tender, 3–5 minutes. Drain if needed.
- Make the cream sauce
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until smooth and slightly thickened (3–5 min).
- Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Add the peas
- Stir peas into the sauce and cook 1–2 minutes until heated through.
- Assemble
- Toast bread slices.
- Spoon creamed peas over the toast and serve immediately.
💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, sauté a small chopped onion or garlic in butter before adding flour.
- You can add cooked ham, bacon bits, or grated cheese for a heartier version.
- If you like it extra creamy, stir in a little cream or cream cheese with the peas.
If you want, I can give a “super quick 10-minute version” that skips the roux and uses a blender for an ultra-creamy sauce—it’s almost like a restaurant-style comfort dish.
Do you want me to do that?
