- Place whites and yolks in separate bowls. Let whites warm to room temperature for 1 hour.

- Melt 1/3 cup butter in saucepan. Remove from heat. With wire whisk, stir in flour, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Return to heat, bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring, until thick and leaves bottom of pan. Beat in 1/2 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup Cheddar.
- With whisk, beat yolks; beat in cheese mixture. With mixer at high speed, beat whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form when beater is slowly raised. With under-and-over motion, fold 1/3 whites into the cheese mixture. Carefully fold in remaining whites to combine. Turn into prepared pan.

Love this. My copy of copy of the copy of he McCall's page is in bad shape. My mother made this for a prom brunch for me and my date and several other couples in 1985. Then she made it for my bridesmaid breakfast on the morning of my wedding in 1992. I make at least 2 times each year. It is an Easter tradition. It's worth the work. :)
