- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chives chopped; plus more for garnish

Instructions
- Start by cooking the cauliflower rice according to the package instructions.
- Next, heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the milk, flour and salt and whisk until smooth.
