Instructions

1. Prep the patties
   In a bowl, mix all patty ingredients (except oil). Shape into oval or round patties.

2. Sear
   Heat oil in a pan. Sear patties 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned (they’ll finish cooking in the oven).

3. Make the creamy sauce
   In the same pan, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute.
   Slowly whisk in milk and stock. Cook until smooth and thick.
   Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg/mustard if using.

4. Assemble
   Place patties in a baking dish. Pour sauce over them evenly.

5. Cheese it up
   Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.

6. Bake
   Bake uncovered at 180°C / 350°F for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

7. Finish
