Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make meringue: Beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Mix in vanilla.
- Pipe meringues: Pipe small rounds onto baking sheet, creating a slight indent in the center.
- Bake: Bake for 1.5–2 hours until dry and crisp. Turn off oven and let cool inside.
- Make lemon curd: Whisk lemon juice, zest, sugar, and eggs in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until thickened. Stir in butter and cool.
- Assemble: Spoon or pipe lemon curd into cooled meringues.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
Make sure the meringues are fully cooled before filling to prevent melting. Store unfilled meringues in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
