Melt butter in a sauce pan over low heat, wisk in flour, when smooth gradually add milk and and let bubble 1-2 mins until thickened. Stir in cheese until melted and remove from heat. Add a little of the mixture to the egg yolks and then add the egg mixture into the cheese/milk mixture. Mix well and then fold in the egg whites. Pour into the ramekins and bake 20 mins.
