Instructions:

- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until fully melted and incorporated.
- Allow the caramel filling to cool to room temperature. This will help it set and make it easier to spread on the tart base.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form using an electric mixer. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spoon the meringue over the caramel filling, spreading it to cover the entire surface. Use a spatula to make decorative peaks and swirls.
- Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for around 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
- Slice and serve your delicious caramel meringue tart. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form to achieve a meringue that holds its shape.
