Reduce heat; cook and stir until very thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, cream-style corn, butter, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir until cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Stir in milk.

    In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into cornmeal mixture. Pour into a lightly greased 2-quart square baking dish. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve immediately.
