2 tbsp. whole wheat flour 
3/4 cup 2% fat milk 
1/2 cup (2 ounces) reduced fat cheddar cheese 
2 egg yolks, at room temperature

1/2 tsp. ground mustard 
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 
1/2 tsp. kosher salt 



Instructions

5. Cook for about 3 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. 
6. Take off the heat and stir in the cheese, cayenne and ground mustard. 
7. In a large bowl of a stand mixer, beat egg yolks on high-speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
8. Slowly add the milk mixture to the egg yolks, stirring constantly. 
9. Stir in ham mixture and set aside. 
10. In another large bowl of a stand mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high-speed until stiff peaks form.
