Once the butter stops bubbling, whisk in the flour and cook until the mixture is a pale blonde, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Add the mustard, paprika, onion and bay leaf and whisk to combine. Add the milk, whisking continually for 7 to 8 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaf.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add a few ounces of the milk mixture to the egg and whisk to combine. Add another few ounces of the milk mixture to the egg and thoroughly combine. Then add the egg mixture back to the milk mixture and whisk vigorously. Stir in three-quarters of the cheese and season with the salt and pepper.
