Step 3: Season the Sauce
Add salt and black pepper to taste. If you like, sprinkle in a bit of garlic powder or onion powder for extra depth. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Combine Peas and Sauce
Add the cooked peas to the cream sauce and gently stir until everything is evenly coated. Let the mixture simmer for another 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Step 5: Toast the Bread
While the peas are simmering, toast your bread slices until golden brown and crisp. You can use a toaster or a skillet with a little butter for extra flavor.
Step 6: Assemble and Serve
Place the toasted bread on a plate and generously spoon the creamed peas over the top. Serve immediately while warm.

Variations to Try
