Ingredients
Equipment
Method
Parmesan Meringue Clouds
- Lay piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- With an electric mixer and clean medium bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tarter until soft peaks.
- Add sugar and whip eggs to stiff peaks.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese and gently fold into meringue, (avoid deflating the bubbles)
- Use two spoons to scoop onto a parchment laid baking sheet. No need to form into any shape, the difference in shape (and size) makes it look like a cloud.
- Bake at 300F until golden on the edges, about 25 minutes.
Meatballs
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients for meatballs with your hands or rubber spatula.
- Wrap with plastic wrap and place into fridge for flavors to meld for at least 30 minutes up to 1 day.
- Scoop 1/4 cup rounds of meat and roll onto baking sheet. Alternatively, I used an ice cream scoop and large tablespoon to round the meatballs.
- On medium heat and a large non-stick frying pan, cook meatballs on one side until brown and place lid on frying pan to cook the meatballs for about 5 minutes. Roll onto another side to brown and continue to rotate. Takes about 10-15 minutes to brown and cook a batch of meatballs until internal temperature is 145F.
- Cook another batch of meatballs until complete,
Final Plate Assembly
- Warm pasta sauce and ladle into the middle of a plate or large bowl.
- Lay 4-5 meatballs in the center of the dish.
- Lay 3-4 parmesan meringues on top of the tomato/ pasta sauce.
