How about a lemon sponge pie?  It does use egg whites, but not as meringue...

Here is the recipe:

2 eggs, separated 
3/4 cup sugar 
1/4 cup melted butter 
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest 
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 
1 cup milk 
1/8 teaspoon salt 
1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked 

Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; set aside. In a mixing bowl, 
combine flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, milk, and egg yolks. Gently 
fold egg whites into mixture. Pour mixture into pastry-lined pie pan.
Bake lemon sponge pie at 350° for 40 minutes, or until done.
