Cook, stirring occasionally, until tempeh begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, tomato paste, and spices, continuing to cook for another 5 minutes. Add wine and cook uncovered until liquid has completely evaporated, about 1 minute.
4. Cheese Sauce: Heat milk until warm in the microwave. Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat, then whisk in flour to form a smooth paste. While whisking, slowly drizzle milk into the paste until completely combined. Continue whisking and cooking until mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of the cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Allow to cool a but (so that it's warm but not hot), then stir in the eggs.
