Beat egg yolks until doubled in volume and pale yellow in color. Add in flour, mustard, pepper and herbs and beat until smooth. Microwave milk on high for one minute, then stir through the egg mixture; then fold the cooled veggies and cheese through the mix.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, add salt, and continue to beat until they form a thick white foam, but not quite to soft peaks. Fold through the egg yolk - veggie mixture. Trying to incorporate some of the air from the egg whites.
