There are some good meringue recipes in the recipes section on this site. Very cute mini meringues. Maybe search and have a look. Might be just what you need?
My tip is to make sure your bowl is super clean. Any grease in the bowl can stop the egg whites from expanding. Lemon juice is good bowl cleaner or even a bit of vodka.
Can not remember the recipe but be sure to take the eggs out of the fridge a few hours before using so they are at room temp, and use a slow oven eg 150 or lower if its a fan forced oven. and do not over beat the eggs.
I will never forget my first meringue pie at my home economics class in my high school days . First , I struggled with making the shortcrust pastry . Next whipping the egg mixture seemed easy and baked successfully in the oven . Then the most important final step is the whipping of the egg white and sugar which I FAILED immensely and turned into a big white flop instead of a fluffy meringue . The funny thing was it looked really horrid but it tasted delicious . I attempted making a pavalova a few times and now for some reason I am able to whip up a meringue more easily now . What I think is because you must be patient and slowly pour the sugar a bit at a time and not all at once while you are whipping it . So be careful of that final step and it should turn out great .
