Spoon bread can't be sliced and buttered. This pudding-like casserole made with dry milk and corn meal is so soft and creamy, it has to be eaten with a spoon. Serve as a main dish accompanied by a tossed green salad or as a side dish with pork chops and sliced tomatoes.

Cheesy Spoon Bread

3/4 cup NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Nonfat Dry Milk
1/2 cup ALBERS Yellow Corn Meal
2 cups water
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided use
3 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Grease 11/2-quart casserole dish.
2. Combine dry milk and corn meal in large saucepan. Stir in water. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup cheese, egg yolks, margarine and baking powder.
3. Beat egg whites in small mixer bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into corn meal mixture lightly but thoroughly. Pour into prepared dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until top is golden and filling is set. Serve warm.

Makes 6 servings.
