Directions

1. Melt butter in large skillet set over medium heat; cook onion, garlic and thyme for 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture starts to soften. Sprinkle with flour; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Slowly whisk in milk and cream until mixture comes to boil.
2. Stir in chickpeas, broccoli, carrots, green beans, salt and pepper; reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until veggies are just tender. Stir in chives.
3. Spread Dijon mustard over bread. Spoon chickpea mixture over top.

Tips:
• Use a medley of veggies that you have on hand. Green peas, wax beans, zucchini, butternut squash, baby potatoes, turnips or sweet potatoes all work well.
• If desired, stir 1 tsp dry mustard into vegetable mixture; omit Dijon mustard.
