Steps

1
Infuse the milk with the onion studded with cloves and the bay leaf: bring to just below a simmer, take off the heat and leave 20 minutes. Strain.
2
Melt the butter, stir in the flour and cook 3 minutes without colouring.
3
Whisk in the infused milk gradually until smooth, then simmer 10 minutes, whisking often, until it coats a spoon.
4
Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
5
Take the pan off the heat before adding the cheeses — boiling cheese in a sauce makes it stringy and greasy. Stir until melted.
6
Beat a little of the warm sauce into the egg yolk, then stir it back into the pan off the heat.
7
Use immediately, or press cling film to the surface to stop a skin forming.
