Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, drawing an 8-inch circle as a guide.
- In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually add caster sugar until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).

- Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a nest with slight indentations.
- Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes until dry outside but soft inside; turn off the oven and let cool completely.
