Mini Meringues
WHen one has leftover egg whites...this is the best way to use them up. They will keep in an airtight container for weeks! Bam!
Our resident piping/baking queen Bree created these one day when we had a truckload of leftover egg whites. They kept for ages, though knowing they were available was fairly tempting. I love having them on hand for all sorts of reasons. Grandkids, desserts, unexpected visits from people who expect SO much of me! Hahahaha! We have a few recipes coming up where you will need these. So practice your piping skills. These are quite quite tiny. A mouthful at best...child's mouthful actually. That small.
Aren't they just cute though? We think so.
