Prepare half of a small breadfruit, weighing about 1 pound, and peel it.

In a pot of boiling water, add the breadfruit, 4 tablespoons of cooking oil, and salt to taste.

Cook the breadfruit until tender, checking for doneness.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter to make a roux.

Add 4 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter and stir continuously for about a minute to cook out the flour.

Slowly add 2 cups of almond milk to the roux, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Allow the cheese sauce to simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Once the breadfruit is tender, drain it and combine it with the cheese sauce.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture.

Mash the breadfruit and cheese sauce together until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to help with mashing.

Taste the cheesy breadfruit mash and adjust seasoning if needed.
