  6. Cook for another minute and then add the stock pot and a couple of tablespoons of béchamel.

  7. Stir well, bring it to a gentle boil then simmer for another minute and turn off the heat. 

  8. For the white sauce, simply heat up the béchamel, do not boil. Add 100g of the grated cheese, 3 egg yolks, and freshly ground pepper. Mix well until creamy and cheese has melted, and turn off the heat.
