Preparation

Separate eggs; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Add 1-1/2 cups cheese and mustard; stir until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat.

Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Stir in broccoli. Allow to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

With a spatula, stir a fourth of the egg whites into broccoli mixture until no white streaks remain.
