• For the cream cheese swirl: Mix together the cream cheese, sugar and egg white in a small bowl until smooth.

• Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth with an offset spatula. Add big dollops of the cream cheese mixture all over the surface and use a small spoon to swirl it in slightly, then smooth the top again.
