meringues are great. here's a nice recipe for you:
Ingredients
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 egg
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 7 ounces almond paste
* 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup seedless red raspberry jam
* 3 egg whites
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup flaked coconut
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with greased aluminum foil.
2. To make the Crust: In a large bowl, mix together the butter, almond paste, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in one egg and the almond extract. Mix in the flour and stir until well blended.
3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. Cool slightly, and spread the raspberry preserves over the crust.
4. In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar until peaks become stiff. Spread the meringue over the jam and sprinkle with coconut.
5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until firm. Let cool on wire racks. Lift foil from pan and cut bars with a sharp knife.

I have flourless honey almond almond cake that I like to make with left over egg whites.
It calls for a spring cake pan but I just use a regular cake pan and it comes out fine if I line it with parchment paper. You also need to be careful not to over whip the eggs
INGREDIENTS
CAKE
• 1 1/2 cups whole almonds, toasted (see Tip)
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature (see Tip), separated
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
TOPPING
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Tip)
PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper.
2. Process whole almonds in a food processor or blender until finely ground (you will have about 13/4 cups ground). Beat 4 egg yolks, 1/2 cup honey, vanilla, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer (or use a paddle attachment on a stand mixer) on medium speed until well combined. Add the ground almonds and beat on low until combined.
3. Beat 4 egg whites in another large bowl with the electric mixer (use clean beaters on a hand-held mixer or the whisk attachment on a stand mixer) on medium speed until very foamy, white and doubled in volume, but not stiff enough to hold peaks, 1 to 2 minutes (depending on the type of mixer). Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the nut mixture until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
4. Bake the cake until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 28 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and gently remove the side ring. Let cool completely.

Meringues !!!
You could make small ones or a big one and make a pavlova.
Use3/4 cup of sugar for 3 egg whites.
Whisk your egg whites until really stiff and then whisk in half the sugar , fold in remaining sugar with a metal spoon and bake in a very low oven until dry
Yummy
