   Meanwhile, for the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan on high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for about 2 mins or until it bubbles. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens. Add a third of the cheese, stirring, until melted.
