1

Peel chayote under running water to avoid the slippery skin.

2

Boil chayote in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.

Remove the seed from the chayote if it's fibrous; younger chayotes can be used unpeeled.

4

Slice chayote into slivers and keep them in water while slicing.

5

Drain the chayote and set aside.

6

In the same pan, melt butter and add salt and freshly cracked pepper.

7

Add flour to the melted butter to make a roux.

8

Pour in milk and thicken the sauce until it's quite thick.

9

Return the drained chayote to the pan and stir to combine with the sauce.

10

Optionally, sprinkle cheese on top and place under the grill to melt.
