I love the addition of lemon curd and mascarpone in this recipe. The temperature is too high though, even when considering that "every oven is different." I always bake meringue at a lower temperature, but for some reason assumed there was some hidden wisdom in this recipe. Well, there isn't. I burned my first meringue in 10 minutes.
