Instructions

  1. 1 Prepare simple syrup: Bring sugar and water to a simmer in a small pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Pour into a small bowl and let cool completely before using, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Make cocktail: Pour 3/4 fluid ounce simple syrup, bourbon, lemon juice, bitters, and egg white into a large cocktail shaker. Cover with a smaller cocktail shaker, or top, and give cocktail a "dry shake" without ice, about 30 seconds.
  3. 3 Add 3 ice cubes to bourbon mixture, cover, and shake vigorously until the shaker is very cold and the outside is frosty, about 45 seconds. Uncover and strain into a rocks glass containing 1 large ice cube.

  1. 1 Place egg yolks in a saucepan. Whisk in sugar until well blended and creamy. Add milk and cream; whisk until blended. Place pan over medium heat; whisk frequently until mixture reaches a temperature of between 170 to 180 degrees F (75 to 80 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer. Remove from heat. Stir in nutmeg and whiskey.
  2. 2 Chill pan in cold water until cool. Transfer mixture to a container (a large pitcher is ideal). Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, 2 to 3 hours.
  3. 3 Place egg whites in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue whisking until egg whites hold a firmer peak. Whisk egg whites into custard base until thoroughly blended. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Whisk eggnog again just before serving and between each pour to ensure even distribution of the egg whites which tend to float to the top. Serve with a dusting of nutmeg.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place egg whites and sugar into a metal bowl and set over a pan filled with about 2 inches of simmering water. Heat, frequently stirring, until the temperature of egg whites reaches 140 degrees. They will feel very hot to the touch.
  2. 2 Transfer heated egg whites and sugar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Mix at high speed (or as high as you can go without egg whites flying out of the bowl) until they have reached their maximum volume, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix on medium or medium-high speed while pinching off small pieces of butter and throwing them in. Mix in vanilla if using. The buttercream may look like it is breaking down, but keep on mixing and it will come back together.

Brush with egg white, and sprinkle with bagel seasoning.
  3. 3 Preheat an air fryer to 280 degrees F (137 degrees C). Line the fryer basket with a parchment liner or spray lightly with cooking spray.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor; process to a meal-like consistency, scraping down the sides and over the bottom of the bowl as needed. Don't overprocess it; at this point, the mixture should still be crumbly, not paste-like.
  2. 2 Add beaten egg white and almond extract; process until it lumps together. If it remains crumbly, add more egg white, a few drops at a time.
  3. 3 Use a silicone spatula to remove almond paste from the food processor. If not using right away, wrap almond paste in waxed paper and store in an airtight container to use within a few hours. Or, place wrapped almond paste in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
