Scalloped Cheese Breadfruit is a twist on the classic scalloped potatoes dish. Breadfruit is a starchy tropical fruit that is a staple in many Caribbean and Pacific island diets. When peeled, cored, and sliced, breadfruit has a texture similar to potatoes, making it a great substitute in many potato-based recipes. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner, and the leftovers make great lunches throughout the week. Serve this dish with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized.
3.	In a separate bowl, mix flour with milk until it forms a paste. Add this paste to the onions and stir.
4.	Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Cook for a few minutes until sauce thickens.
5.	In a baking dish, layer sliced breadfruit and sauce until all ingredients are used up. Top with grated cheddar cheese.
6.	Bake for 45 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the breadfruit is cooked through.
