- While leek mix is cooking, bring 5 cups water to a boil. WIth a whisk, pour a steady stream of polenta into boiling water. Reduce temperature to medium and whisk for 15 minutes. The polenta should be the texture of slightly thin mashed potatoes.
- Stir leek mixture and cheese into polenta. Set aside, covered.
- Beat egg whites until they form a soft peak. WIth a whisk, fold whites into polenta mixture. Place in a casserole and bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. As casserole rises and browns on top, loosely place a piece of foil on top to prevent too much browning. Serve immediately.
