1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. PATTYPAN: 3. Bring pattypan to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. 4. BECHAMEL: 5. Heat butter over medium heat, stir in flour until smooth and just slightly browned. 6. Add milk a little at a time, stirring to incorporate each addition, then add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from heat. 7. In a small bowl, temper the beaten egg by adding a spoonful of bechamel and stirring, repeating 3-4 times. Then add the egg mixture to the bechamel and stir. 8. PUT TOGETHER: 9. Using a grapefruit knife, cut the top of the pattypan's off leaving a nice "bowl" to fill. 10. Remove the stems from the pattypan tops you just cut off, then add the tops to the bechamel sauce and use a potato masher to incorporate. 11. Arrange pattypan's in a 9x9 casserole dish and fill with the bechamel mixture, bake for about 30 minutes or until done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
