   Cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving drippings in pan. Crumble bacon; set aside. Increase heat to medium-high. Add remaining 2 cups corn, onion, celery, bell pepper, and jalapeno to drippings in pan; saute 7 minutes. Combine cornmeal and flour; sprinkle over vegetables. Cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Gently stir one-fourth of egg white mixture into corn mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture, crumbled bacon, and cilantro. Spoon mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
