    This is a great way to dress up peas. Emeril's seasoning gives it that little something special. It had a good flavor. Thanks Emeril.

    Tasty and very easy to make. Lacks a star, as the layers seemed to remain separate and the cheese was too hard for my preference. I also used already seasoned bread crumbs. The next time I try it, I think I'll mix my bread crumbs and cheese all together with the milk and cheese mixture instead of layering. Great twist for peas.

    Not too impressed! Tasted just OK, but visually, very unappealing! The cream rose to the top over the bread crumbs and cheese, and looked quite unappetizing.
