Bring the rest of the milk to the boil in a
separate pan, and then add the
Béchamel sauce, stirring for a few
minutes until the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese.
Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks
into the cooled sauce. Beat the egg
whites until stiff, and fold them gently
into the sauce.
