  • 30g butter

  • 280ml milk
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper, as desired
  • 40g Parmesan, finely grated
  • 40g Gruyère, finely grated
  • 3 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
  • Butter and breadcrumbs for lining ramekins

Utensils

  • 4 x 10cm/180ml ramekins
  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease  4 x 10cm/180ml ramekins with butter and coat with breadcrumbs. 

  • Step 2

    In a large saucepan, add butter and flour, cook for 2 minutes over medium heat, then slowly stir in the milk. Continue cooking until thick, or approximately 5 minutes while stirring continuously, then remove from heat. Stir in nutmeg, season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool down 

  • Step 3

    Add cheese to the thick sauce and mix well.  

  • Step 4

    Then add egg yolks and stir until fully incorporated.  

  • Step 5

    Place egg whites into a medium sized bowl. Attach the hand mixer attachment to the power base, then assemble the whisk. Select power and press the up arrow to begin beating starting on speed 1 and slowly increasing to speed 5 until soft peaks appear. 

  • Step 6

    Gently fold egg whites into sauce approximately a third at the time. Once combined, divide mixture between 4 ramekins leaving approximately 1cm from the top. 

  • Step 7

    Wipe down ramekin sides if necessary and place them in the oven. Let bake undisturbed for 18-20 minutes. 

  • Step 8
