Ingredients

1 head garlic
1/2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. butter, softened
1 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 cans (14-1/2 oz. each) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup quick-cooking grits
6 oz. VELVEETA, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 Tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 egg yolks
3 egg whites

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F.
Cut 1/4 inch off top of garlic head, leaving papery skins intact. Place on sheet of foil; drizzle with oil. Wrap in foil. Bake 30 min. Meanwhile, brush 1/2 tsp. butter onto bottom and side of 2-qt. souffle dish; sprinkle with Parmesan until evenly coated.
Bring broth to boil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Gradually add grits, stirring constantly; cover. Simmer on low heat 5 min., stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Slip roasted garlic from skins; mash to a paste. Add to grits with VELVEETA, 2 Tbsp. butter and red pepper; stir until VELVEETA is melted. Add yolks; mix well. Beat egg whites with mixer on medium speed until foamy; beat on high speed just until stiff peaks form. Gently stir into grits mixture; spoon into prepared dish.
Bake 40 to 45 min. or until top is golden brown and center is set. Serve immediately.
