While vegetables are boiling, make the cheese sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Gradually whisk in the warm milk until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 2-3 minutes.

Remove sauce from heat. Stir in 150g of grated cheddar, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until cheese is melted and smooth.
