Remove from heat and cool thoroughly. Add the egg yolks, and then fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Spoon into a greased casserole dish and bake in a 375 F oven for 35 40 minutes, or until firm to the touch and crust is brown. An additional tbsp of fat can be added to the casserole dish if needed. Very rich and filling.
