Comments
I made this recipe last week for a lunchroom tasting at an elementary school. The first batch I made I mixed the parmesan into the peas while in the skillet and the cheese got clumpy and difficult to serve. It also took too long to put into cups and started to burn. I quickly switched to serving it into cups first and then sprinkling the cheese on top, which worked much better.
I used butter as directed but had trouble with it burning so in the future I would use olive oil! Overall a successful recipe that the kids enjoyed.
My group of volunteers tested this recipe and we agree that it might be a great recipe to convert non pea eaters to eat peas. :)
