3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Set oven for slow, 300°F. Heat milk but do not scald. Melt butter in top of double boiler, blend in flour, salt, cayenne. Add heated milk; stir over hot water until smooth and thickened. Slice cheese into sauce; stir until cheese melts. Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks with a fork until well blended. Add a little of the cheese sauce; stir mixture into remaining cheese sauce.
