macaroni and cheese croquettes

make whatever kind of macaroni and cheese and then stir in 2 egg yolks.  shape into balls.  dip first in flour, then in egg white, and finally in bread crumbs.  you can deep or shallow fry these depending on their shape (the flatter they are, the less oil you need.)  i was feeling decadent, so i went for full-on-spheres.
