Tips:
- Select Quality Peas: Choose fresh or frozen peas for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen peas, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, and chives add a burst of flavor to the cheese sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to taste the cheese sauce as you're making it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or nutmeg until you reach the desired flavor.
- Cook the Peas Properly: Overcooked peas can become mushy, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a Good Quality Cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the sauce. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Fontina.
- Serve Immediately: Peas in cheese sauce are best served immediately, while the sauce is still hot and bubbly. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it gently before serving.
