Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter and stir in the fiour, and cook over a moderate heat for about 1-2 minutes.

Remove from the heat and gradually blend in the hot stock. Return to the heat and bring to the boil, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.

In a small bowl, blend the egg yolks with a little hot sauce.

Return to the pan and cook over a very low heat for 1-2 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Finally stir in the flavourings and cheese. Season to taste. Serve with steamed broccoli, cauliflower or leeks.
