• 

  1 cup whole milk
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
• 

  ½ cup sour cream
  Required swap
• 

  1 cup frozen peas
• 

  1 tsp dried thyme
• 

  ½ tsp onion powder
• 

  salt and pepper, to taste

For the topping

• 

  ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Regular bread crumbs are finer and less crunchy than panko. Use the same amount; coatings and toppings will be a bit denser and less crisp.
• 

  2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For serving
