Let cook till it starts to thicken then add egg, (do this by adding just a little of the warm milk mixture to the beaten egg and whisk as you do it to temper the egg so it does not turn into scrambled eggs on you.)salt and pepper to your taste. then you can add the egg to the pot and add in velveeta cheese and stir regularly till melted and you have your cheese sauce.
