1. Preheat oven temperature to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

2. Line a Swiss roll tin.

3. Make roulade: heat the oil, add onion and garlic, soften. Then
add carrots and courgettes, soften for a further 1-2 minutes only.
Put into a bowl with salt and pepper, sesame seeds, cheddar cheese,
egg yolks and sage.

4. Whisk egg whites until stiff and carefully fold into yolk mixture.
Pour into a baking case and bake at the top of the oven for 15-20
minutes.

5. Meanwhile make the sauce. Melt butter, add flour, cook for 1-2
minutes and remove from heat. Add milk slowly, when all incorporated
return to heat and cook until thick and bubbling. Remove from heat,
add softened leek and seasoning, cover the whole with cling film
next to the surface (this stops a skin forming and keeps the sauce
warm).

6. On a cooling rack, place a clean tea towel. Take the roulade out
of the oven (it should be springy to touch not rubbery). Carefully
invert onto a tea towel. Spread filling evenly and roll up using the
tea towel to help.

7. Slice vertically and serve immediately.
