Ingredients

4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted pistachios (preferably not roasted), finely chopped

Instructions

Heat oven to 200 °F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a pencil to mark parchment with parallel lines 5 inches apart; these lines will be your guides when piping. Turn paper over.
Beat whites with salt in stand mixer at high speed (or in a large bowl with handheld mixer) until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating, and continue to beat at high speed until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Secure paper to baking sheets with dabs of meringue.
Spoon some meringue into pastry bag and pipe 5-inch-long cigars (3/4 to 1 inch wide) onto 1 baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Add more meringue to pastry bag and pipe more cigars in same manner on other baking sheet.
Sprinkle cigars generously with pistachios.
Bake cigars in oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until crisp but still white, about 2 hours.
Turn off oven and cool meringue cigars in oven 1 hour, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
