Ingredients 

• 15ml oil
• 150g button or portabellini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 spring onions, sliced
• 30ml butter
• 25ml cake flour

• salt and milled black pepper
• 2 eggs, separated

• 5ml parsley, chopped

Method

• Preheat the oven to 220°. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes.
• Add the spring onions and cook for another minute. Set aside and reserve one-third for garnish.
• Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour, and cook for 3 minutes, mixing well.

• Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and cheese.
