Brownie Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 300g semi-sweet chocolate
- 250g butter
- 400g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions:

Melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth, either using a microwave or a double boiler. Set aside to cool slightly. - Mix Eggs and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until fully combined. - Combine Wet Ingredients:

Sift the flour and salt into the wet mixture, folding it in gently until just combined. - Bake:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease either two 16 cm molds or one large 28 cm pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. - Cool:
Let the brownies cool in the pan before adding the meringue topping.
Meringue Topping:

While the syrup heats, beat the egg whites until they become foamy. - Add the Syrup:
Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the beaten egg whites while continuing to beat the mixture. Whisk until the meringue cools and forms stiff peaks. - Top the Brownies:
