Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the flour and stir for a few seconds. Blend in the hot milk and adding gradually and whisking until you have a smooth sauce. Season with salt and pepper, add the mustard and ¾ of the cheese. Remove from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before adding the beaten egg. Mix together.
