Flour board lightly. Make small rolls and cut with a spatula to make bean-sized gnocchi. 

For the Fondue: bring the milk seasoned with nutmeg  to a boil.
Make a roux with butter and flour then add to milk and cook on low heat for 5 min. 
Grate hard cheeses and dice the softer ones. Blend the cheeses into the béchamel so that they melt slowly.
