Spread oats on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.

Using clean, dry electric beaters, lightly beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold into the cheese mixture. Then spread mixture into prepared tin. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight until set.
