Method:

Melt the butter in a pan. Add the flour and stir to form a roux. Remove from the heat and add the milk a little at a time, stirring well to form a very thick white sauce. Return to the heat and cook, stirring continuously, for five minutes. Remove from the heat and stir to cool for five minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, cottage cheese, mustard and baking powder together. Season to taste.

Stir the egg mixture into the white sauce with the Gruyère or Cheddar and onions. Pour into a greased ovenproof dish and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden and the centre is cooked. Sprinkle over the Parmesan while still hot. Rest for 10 minutes. Serve with rocket.
