Stir in the milk and season, then bring to the boil slowly
Reduce the heat and keep stirring with a wooden spoon until thick
Once slightly cooled, mix in the egg yolks and Gorgonzola, a little at a time
In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites in a large clean bowl until stiff
Fold into the mixture being careful to keep the air in the mixture (don’t mix too much)
Place the mixture into the Soufflé dishes and sprinkle with any remaining Gorgonzola
