To make the sauce, a tip from Delia Smith. Put the flour, milk and butter in a pan and heat gently from cold. Whisk continuously until smooth. Add the mustard, thyme, and bay leaf. Continue whisking while adding the cheese (keeping back a generous hand full for the topping). Whisk for about 4 minutes till the sauce thickens. Remove the bay leaf and sprigs of thyme, season to taste.
