Using wet hands, mold mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties. (Note: They should only just hold together.) Cover with plastic. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Put baking sheet in oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Put cornmeal in shallow bowl. Whisk egg white with water. Dip patties into egg white, then coat with cornmeal.
