Mince the onion. Slice the carrot into 5mm rounds and cut into star shapes. Mince the remaining carrot. Cut broccoli into small florets and quarter the cherry tomatoes.

Place the star-shaped carrots, broccoli, and water (1 tsp) in a microwave-safe container. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for 3 minutes. Drain the water.

In a bowl, mix ground meat, minced onion, minced carrot, and seasoning ingredients until sticky and well combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the meat mixture into a round cake about 1.5cm thick.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.

In a saucepan, combine cheese cream sauce ingredients and heat over low heat until smooth.
