Goat Cheese Puff

This puff rises to an impressive height, thanks to the addition of beaten egg whites. To prevent the whites from deflating, fold them carefully into the cornmeal mixture. Spoon in one-third of the whites and, using a flexible spatula, slice down to the bottom of the bowl and sweep across it, gently "folding" the cornmeal mixture over the top. Repeat this circular motion to add the remaining whites just until incorporated.
