  7. Gradually blend in cream, stir constantly as it thickens. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.

  8. Mix egg whites with cream sauce and pour into prepared baking dish.

  9. Cover with half of the bread crumbs. Sprinkle yolks on top, then finish with another layer of crumbs.

  10. Bake in preheated oven until bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes.
