Melt the butter in a saucepan. Gradually add the flour, stirring with a whisk. Then gradually pour in the milk, whisking as you go. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks into the mixture one at a time.
Cut the smoked salmon into pieces and finely chop the dill. Add them to the mixture along with the cream cheese.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold a small amount of the egg whites into the mixture to lighten it. Then fold this mixture into the remaining egg whites. Mix gently.
Pour the mixture into buttered and floured ramekins. Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Once cooked, do not open the oven door immediately. Turn off the oven and leave the ramekins inside with the door ajar for 10 minutes.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and enjoy!
