4 egg whites
1 c. sour cream

GOLDEN SAUCE:

2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt

Drain tuna and fork it into small pieces. Beat egg whites until they hold a shape, then mix gently into the tuna along with sour cream, salt, pepper and mace. Pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until surface of mousse feels firm when touched.

Meanwhile make sauce: melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour smoothly, cook a minute or so, and add the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce bubbles.

Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Beat egg yolks vigorously. Heat a minute longer. Continue stirring. Serve the mousse hot with hot sauce spooned over the top. 4 to 6 servings.
