Ingredients

         1/3 cup butter
        1/3 cup all-purpose flour
         2 cups milk
         1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
         1/4 teaspoon salt

    In a small bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup cheese mixture. Return all to the saucepan stirring constantly; cook for 1-2 minutes longer. Cool completely, about 30-40 minutes.
    In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Fold into cheese mixture.
