Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the peas and stir frequently until thawed.
- Stir in the garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Add in cream cheese, milk, and mix until fully combined about 2-3 minutes.
- Over medium heat, stir in shredded cheese and cook until all cheese melts and you get a thicker consistency. About 3-4 minutes. Then remove from heat.
- Serve and garnish with chopped parsley and chili flakes, if desired Enjoy!
Notes
- You may use other veggies if you don't like peas. Try mixed veggies or corn.
- Cream cheese: use light or fat-free cream cheese.
- Milk: you may use dairy-free milk but we prefer 2% which is what we used.
- Fresh garlic can be replaced with garlic powder
- Use light or fat-free shredded cheddar cheese.
- Store leftovers in a container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You may freeze for later use. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave.
- Use any oil you prefer.
