- 2 cups water
- 1 1⁄4 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
- 3 eggs, separated

- 1 teaspoon dried chives
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F Grease 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
- Combine dry milk and corn meal in large saucepan.
- Stir in water.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil, thickens, and the whole mixture turns yellow.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 3/4 cup cheese, egg yolks, margarine and baking powder.
- Beategg whites in small mixer bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Fold into corn meal mixture gently.
- Pour into prepared dish.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese and if desired, sprinkle 1 tsp seasoned salt and 1 tsp dried chives over the whole thing.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until top is golden and filling is set.
- Serve warm (although I have snacked on it right from the fridge).
- If you are warming it up as a leftover, heating it in the microwave makes it soggy.
- It tastes best if while you are cooking your dinner, you heat the oven to about 250, and leave it in there until you are done preparing everything else.

<p>I am not a very interesting person. I like to cook, I like to eat, and I love my husband Rick and my son Hugh. Thats pretty much it when it comes to me, that and an obsession for cats, especially our 2, Bunny & Bindy Sue. We live in Lake Dallas, TX, and have been married since August 16th, 2003. Hugh was born October 19th, 2009. Rick and I met on the internet in September 2001, and when we were married I moved from NJ where I grew up, to the big, scary, strange city of Dallas. There are things I like about Dallas and things I don't. I am definitely homesick for some real NY style pizza.</p>
