In a saucepan, heat (AT VERY LOW HEAT) butter when hot add the onion and cook until translucent and very light golden brown. Add the flour mix well and add about 3 cups of the hot milk. With a whisk, cook while mixing continuously 15 minutes minimum. Add as much milk as necessary if the sauce is too thick.
The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with the nutmeg and salt and pepper. Add the cheeses and cook for a few more minutes to make certain that the cheeses are melted.
When finish cooking add the egg yolks and mix rapidly to avoid scrambled eggs.
