INGREDIENTS

3 1/2 teaspoons butter or margarine, divided
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon minced chives
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, separated
1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese

DIRECTIONS

Butter the bottom and sides of a 1-cup round baking dish with 1/2 teaspoon butter. Sprinkle buttered surface with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese; set aside. In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Add chives and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount into egg yolk; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Transfer to a bowl; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat egg white until stiff peaks form; fold half into yolk mixture. Fold in Swiss cheese, then remaining egg white. Pour into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
