Crisp Meringue Nests

Crisp Meringue Nest is a light, sweet confection traditionally made by whipping egg whites with sugar until glossy and baking or torching them into crisp shells or soft toppings; it features in European desserts like pavlova and lemon meringue pie. Nutritionally it is largely sugar — about 80.6g per 100g — with very little fat and modest protein from the egg whites. As a treat, it provides some high-quality protein and small amounts of micronutrients from eggs (for example selenium and riboflavin), but it is primarily a sugary, low-fiber dessert best enjoyed occasionally.
