Introduction

Creamed Peas on Toast is a simple, comforting dish that feels both nostalgic and satisfying.
Made with tender green peas in a creamy, savory sauce and served over crisp toast, it’s perfect
for a quick lunch, light dinner, or budget-friendly comfort meal. This recipe proves that humble
ingredients can still deliver big flavor.

Ingredients

2 cups green peas (fresh or frozen)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk (warm)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
4 slices bread (toasted)
Optional: a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder

Instructions

If using frozen peas, cook them in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, then drain and set aside. Fresh peas may take slightly longer.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly add the warm milk, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
Season with salt and black pepper (and optional nutmeg or garlic powder if using).
Add the cooked peas to the sauce and gently stir. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Spoon the creamed peas generously over toasted bread slices. Serve warm.

Description

This dish features soft, sweet peas coated in a creamy white sauce that’s rich without being heavy.
The contrast between the crunchy toast and the smooth, velvety peas makes every bite comforting and
balanced. It’s a timeless recipe that works just as well as a main dish or a hearty side.

Tips

Use whole milk for the creamiest texture.
Toast the bread well so it doesn’t get soggy too quickly.
Add a sprinkle of grated cheese for extra richness.
For a more filling meal, serve with a side salad or soup.

Correction

If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk and stir gently.
If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer for another minute or two until it thickens.
Always add milk slowly to avoid lumps.
