To buy
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
From your shelf
- one 10 oz bag sweet organic steamable peas
- 4 oz ham
Staples
- 2 tablespoons butter
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 tablespoon flour
- Toast two thick slices of bread while you work. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a wide skillet over medium heat, then whisk in 1 tablespoon flour until it foams, about one minute.
- Gradually pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thick, about three minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the peas from one 10 oz bag without thawing, then add 4 oz ham torn into bite-sized pieces. Simmer until heated through, about three minutes, stirring gently.
- Divide the creamed peas between two bowls and set each portion atop a piece of buttered toast. Serve right away.
Note Swap ham for bacon if you have it, or skip meat altogether and add a fried egg on top. Leftovers keep three days in a covered container and are good reheated gently with a splash of water. Serve with a green salad on the side to stretch the meal.
