Lightly coat the bottom and sides of a double boiler with margarine, and place over barely boiling water. Pour in egg substitute mixture. Cover and cook at low temperature for ten minutes.

Cover and refrigerate overnight. About 10 minutes before serving, re-heat in a 350-degree oven or in microwave until cheeses melt. Serve with sour cream.
