In a few sentences

In brief

Swiss meringue heats egg whites and sugar together under controlled conditions before whipping.

Useful to know

Swiss meringue heats egg whites and sugar together under controlled conditions before whipping. King Arthur’s recipe uses this sequence to produce a smooth foam. [1]

Follow the specified temperature and checks rather than relying on the bowl merely feeling warm. Dissolving the sugar and heating the mixture appropriately are separate requirements. Briefly browning the top does not reproduce the treatment of the entire mixture. Prepare the thermometer and suitable bowl before starting.
