Wash the medium-sized breadfruit and remove the butts.

Place the breadfruit into a pot with water and add salt. Cook for about 15-20 minutes.

Pierce the breadfruit with a fork to check if it's cooked.

Remove the breadfruit from the heat and let it cool.

Melt margarine in a pot on low heat.

Add flour to the melted margarine and mix to avoid lumps, then increase heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add milk while whisking the butter and flour mixture to prevent lumps.

Add finely diced onion and garlic, and mix well.

Add mustard oil, parsley, and grated nutmeg to the mixture and stir.

Add about three-quarters of the cheese to the sauce and mix well. Reserve the rest for later.

Mash the cooled breadfruit, adding margarine to help with the mashing process.

Press the mashed breadfruit evenly into a pie dish.

Pour the cheese sauce over the mashed breadfruit and spread it evenly.

Top with the reserved cheese and some breadcrumbs for crunch.

Place the pie into a preheated oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes, keeping an eye on it.

Remove the pie from the oven once it's golden brown and let it cool completely before cutting.
