  stirring until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
  Season with salt to taste.
  
  Gently stir together pasta, cheese sauce, half each of
  cooked bacon and leeks, and egg yolk. Stir in Gruyère
  cheese and remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Spoon pasta
  mixture into a buttered 8" cast-iron skillet, and
  sprinkle with remaining bacon and leeks. Drizzle with
