Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup plain dried breadcrumbs

Instructions
  1. Adjust oven to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees.

Increase speed and puree until smooth. Turn puree into a medium bowl; stir breadcrumbs, cheese, and a sprinkling of pepper.

  5. Meanwhile, microwaves peas and remaining tablespoon butter, covered, on high power until steamy hot, about 5 minutes. Serve; filling center with cooked peas.
