As much as I love avocado toast, there’s a new green toast contender. Simply seasoned and quickly sauteed peas blend together to make a lovely base to spread on toast and preferably top with your egg of choice. Pea mash on toast was is a great way to switch up breakfast!
How to make pea mash:
Some people boil peas, but I just dumped frozen peas right into a hot skillet with some sauteed onions and garlic and cooked, stirring throughout, until the peas had softened. I didn’t even defrost them, and they cooked within minutes.
The next step is to add the cooked peas to a blender or food processor, and while drizzling a little olive oil in, run the blender till a nice smooth puree forms.
How to season the pea mash:
I kept it very simple with salt, pepper, chili flakes, plus the sauteed onion and garlic. Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon or lemon zest to add some brightness, and any other spices of your choice.
What to serve with your mashed peas:
This is perfect for smearing on toasted bread- sourdough is my favorite. I also added some avocado slices (couldn’t resist!) and a sous vide cooked egg- this is my new obsession. You can find out how to sous vide eggs in this post, or add a more conventional poached/fried/boiled egg. I think this would be a great addition to labneh toast!
