👩🍳 Instructions
- Cook peas: Steam or boil peas until tender. Drain if necessary.
- Make cream sauce:

💡 Tips
- Use fresh herbs like mint or parsley for extra freshness.
- For a richer version, replace some milk with cream or add a sprinkle of grated cheese.
- Add crisp bacon bits or sautéed onions for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as toast can get soggy if left too long.
