Number Of Ingredients 9

4 Tbl butter, unsalted
1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups half and half (or can use all milk)
1 pound shaved chipped baked ham (or can use chopped dried beef)
3 1/2 cups peas (canned or frozen - thawed)
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
8 slices of bread, toasted - don't forget about the 'anchor' crusts!

Steps:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add in the flour and whisk for a minute to cook the flour.
SLOWLY add in the milk whisking constantly to break up the clumps.
Reduce heat to medium low and cook, whisking often until the mixture thickens. ~3-6 minutes. Watch so it doesn't burn!
Once the mixture thickens add in the ham and using a rubber tipped spatula, mix to combine, gently scraping on the base on the pan.
Cook for 1 minute.
Add in the peas, stir gently and turn off the heat.
Toast the bread and place 2 slices of toast on a plate.
Ladle a generous portion over the toast.
