LIGHT GRITS SPOON BREAD 
Vegetable cooking spray
2 c. skim milk
1/3 c. uncooked reg. grits
1 whole egg, beaten at room temperature
5 egg whites, room temperature

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 1 1/2 to 2 quart casserole with cooking spray. In a heavy 3 quart saucepan, bring to a boil the milk and grits. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, 10-12 minutes or until very thick. Temper the egg by beating in small amounts of the milk-grits mixture, whisking with each addition. Gradually stir in about 1/4 of mixture into egg. Add remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly.

Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into grits mixture. Spoon the grits mixture into casserole. Bake 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and serve. Serves 6.
