TashasEv: I also made an Atlantic Beach pie (that will come out soon!), but that left me with 4 egg whites so I made Mexcal Margarita Meringues! They’re quite tasty! Lemon and lime zest, a bit of mezcal, sprinkled with flaky salt

Still had a faint line today (yay for progress! Boo for line!) so we stayed home and made an epic feast for two. Probably did too much-I’m wiped! 🍽️

Gah, *mezcal* not mexcal 🤦‍♀️

those are the kind made right on the border

My reward, little bit of crustalanche

My brain read this as “crustalence” as in opulence in amazing crust form By this photo… I don’t think I’m entirely wrong

It is good crust! Just crumbly

Today’s slice went a little bit better

Both photos still scream delicious 🤤 I think I’m gonna do some baking this weekend.. definitely feeling inspired between this and those meringues (mezcal was already added to the shopping list)

😍The Atlantic Beach pie uses 4 egg yolks and the meringues use 4 egg whites so they are perfect together!

Did I miss the recipe for the pie? I’ll have to poke back through the thread. Also those margarita meringues make me want a sprinkle of Tajin on top. Am I trippin?

Oh wow, what a spectacular idea. I am absolutely gonna make this.

Let me know how they turn out for you! Next time I might be a bit brave and see if I can up the mezcal and lemon and lime zest a bit, maybe like 1 1/2 tsp each? Don’t wanna deflate the whites though!

This looks brilliant and I’m about to try it. You used 1 1/2 tsp mezcal plus same of the zests?

I used 1tsp of each this time but plan to bump it to 1 1/2 next time!

To be clear, 1 1/2 tsp *combined* for the lemon and lime zests. I read that the oils in citrus zest can deflate the whites (the same as like getting yolk in it)

That makes sense, thanks!!

Genius
