How I make it

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Melt the butter in the milk in a saucepan, whisking until smooth.
Add the flour and whisk quickly until it thickens into a roux.
Add the cheeses and chives to the hot mixture, whisk, and let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Transfer to a stand mixer bowl, add salt, pepper and the eggs, and beat on medium speed until airy.
Chop the olives and stir them in.
Grease a muffin pan with oil or cooking spray and spoon the batter into the cups.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for about 30 minutes, until golden.
