Here’s a simple and comforting Creamed Peas on Toast recipe:
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 cups frozen or fresh peas
- 2 tbsp vegan butter (or regular butter if not vegan)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plant-based milk (like oat or soy)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- 4 slices of bread (your choice)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Cook the peas:
- If using frozen peas, boil or steam them until tender (about 3–4 minutes), then drain.
- Make the creamy sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt vegan butter over medium heat.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in plant-based milk until smooth and thickened.
- Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Combine peas with sauce:
- Add the cooked peas to the sauce and stir gently.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat through.
- Add a dash of lemon juice if you want a little brightness.
- Toast the bread:
- Toast slices of bread until golden brown.
- Assemble:
- Spoon the creamed peas generously over the toasted bread.
- Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
- You can also sprinkle some vegan parmesan on top for a cheesy touch.
- For a richer version, use a mix of plant-based milk and a little plant-based cream.
If you want, I can also suggest a quick one-pan version that’s perfect for busy mornings. Do you want me to do that?
