The first few splashes of milk will smoothen out as u keep whisking - It will form a very thick paste, just keep adding milk bit by bit until smooth - Then add the rest of your milk, whisk and let it slowly reduce on medium heat - Once thickened, on low heat add your cheeses - Mix in your cauliflower and dish up. - Top with extra cheese and chives - Bake in the oven at 180C for 30 mins minimum.
