Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
2 In a large bowl, whisk together the spices, breadcrumbs, and milk and allow to
sit for about 3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to soften. Add the meat and
shallot and mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Roll 3 tablespoons of
meat into balls and flatten slightly.
3 Heat a large frying pan (or two) and brown all the cakes on all sides. Then
place them in a single layer on the lined baking sheet to finish cooking while
you make the gravy.
4 In the same pan you made the meatballs/meat cakes in, brown the shallot in the
drippings and butter. Whisk in the flour until golden. Add the stock and bring
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Whisk in
the milk and cheese until a smooth sauce forms. Return the meat to pan and stir
to coat in sauce. Cook for 5 minutes.
