Method

STEP 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Toss the grated cheese with the cornflour in a bowl. Gradually mash in the remaining cheeses and milk until fairly uniform, then stir in the chives and season. Tip into a small ovenproof dish, even out and bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbling and golden. If you want a little more colour, flash briefly under the grill. Sprinkle the chives on top and serve with the new potatoes and pickles on skewers for dipping.
