Recipes using Egg Whites

[SmRing09]

I am looking for some dessert recipes that use up all of my left over Egg whites. Angel Food Cake sales are slowing down and I am looking for a change.
Suggestions? Ideas

Dacquoise or macarons.

Do you have a favorite recipe that you would be able to share?

I have dusty childhood memories of an antique neighbor, born in the 1800's, who would whip up a meringue, dollop it on a saucer, plop the yolk in the middle, and run it under a broiler long enough to crisp the meringue and warm the yolk, and put a little cinnamon sugar on it and eat it with a spoon. Does this connect with anyone?

How about a Pavlova?

[Val]

great suggestion especially with the abundance of fresh summer fruit now in the markets!

[SmRing09]

I have tried a few pavlova recipes and none seem to come out what i would expect "correctly'. I have never had it before I tried making it so .... I am at a bit of a disadvantage. Do you have a recipe?

I've used this one with good results. http://www.joyofbaking.com/Pavlova.html

"Brutti ma Buoni" cookies use 6 egg whites per 200g crushed nuts (usually almonds and hazlenuts) and 250g powdered sugar. Only other ingredients are a bit of spices/vanilla should you choose. Mount egg whites into stiff peaks, blend with nuts/sugar/spices. Cook 15-20 minutes over medium heat in a heavy=bottomed pan until "tawny"; then drop onto buttered cookies sheets, silicone or parchment paper and cook at 140C for about 40 minutes.

Meringues and mousses come to mind. You can make a lot of meringues, bake them and store them for later desserts. Also, egg white omelets filled with chili, or cheese with salsa are good.

I second the meringues.

I can't even find lemon meringue pie anymore. I'm going to have to finally learn to make pie crust if I ever want to taste it again, I guess.

ooh! how about meringue cookies? Really great! I usually bake them around the holidays in December but you could make them now, though if you are in a very humid geographical area, it might affect them...not sure...I've only ever made them in winter.

i actually have made meringue 'kisses' with red stripes during the holidays as a little treat with the coffee or desserts, but I think the staff ate more than the customers,

haha! they sound so pretty, Sm! I've only made them with crushed up semi sweet chocolate morsels!
