Gradually whisk in warm milk (using a whisk rather than a spoon). Continue whisking gently until sauce thickens, boils and is smooth.

Simmer sauce for about 2 minutes. It should eventually be quite thick and leave sides of pan clean.

Remove from heat and cool slightly. Beat in cheese, mustard, seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and egg yolks.

Beat egg whites to a stiff snow. Gently fold into sauce mixture with a large metal spoon.

Transfer to a greased 1.5 litre (2½ pint) soufflé dish (or similar straight-sided, heatproof dish.)
