Prepare tomato sauce; keep warm. Cut as small a slit as possible in one side of each chile to remove seeds. Leave stems on. Pat chiles dry with paper towels. Cut cheese into 6 long thin sticks. Place 1 stick in each chile, using more if chiles are large. If chiles are loose and open, wrap around cheese and fasten with wooden picks. Pour oil 1/4" deep into large skillet. Heat oil to 365 deg. f. Beat egg whites in a medium bowl until stiff. Beat egg yolks lightly in a small bowl and add all at once to beaten egg whites. Fold lightly but thoroughly.
