Ingredients

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp.
In a food processor, combine peas, mint, garlic, lemon juice, Parmesan, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pulse until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Spoon pea mixture onto toasted baguette slices. Garnish with additional mint leaves and crumbled feta if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips

Can be made ahead: prepare pea spread up to 1 day in advance and refrigerate; toast baguette just before serving.
Substitute frozen peas with fresh blanched peas for an even brighter flavor.
Store leftover pea spread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
