Ingredients

  • 500 ml Milk
  • 40 g Butter
  • 40 g Plain Flour
  • 40 g Hard Cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • Ground White Pepper

Step 1: Mix

Add the butter to the flour in a bowl. Add the flour and butter mixture to warmed milk in a stainless steel saucepan.

Step 2: Heat

Place the saucepan on the hob and whisk. When it starts to thicken, turn the heat down slightly. Continue until nice and smooth with a runny consistency. Add two big tablespoons of cheese and stir, then drop in an egg yolk. Add some ground white pepper and stir again.

Step 3: Sieve

While the sauce is still warm, push it through a sieve into a bowl.
