Peppermint Meringues

I had some leftover egg whites and saw a recipe that was interesting for peppermint meringues. I made them twice. The first batch were perfect for me. Dry on the outside, just a little chewy on the inside. The second batch were good for Rich - dry all the way through. I like the slight chewiness and softness.

They even turned out pretty. The next time I make these, I'll blog the recipe.

How do you end up with extra whites? We always end up with extra yolks. Any ideas what to do with them?

I made lemon curd using a recipe which called for only egg yolks. The benefit there was that it did not require a double boiler because there were no egg whites. I made a lot of lemon curd over the holidays for a cake and as gifts. You can make curd out of pretty much anything citrus. And it's tasty on toast or a scone. I'll post the lemon curd recipe - I've made several, but this one was by far the easiest.
