Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes.

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish.

Pour half of the sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle with cheese.

Add the remaining potatoes and cover with the rest of the sauce.

Top with additional cheese and bread crumbs for a crispy finish.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
