For the most intense lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease or oil when whipping the egg whites, as this will help them achieve maximum volume. Keep a close eye on the pie while it's under the broiler, as meringue can burn quickly. The goal is a light golden-brown color. For a slightly firmer filling, you can bake the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes before topping with the meringue.
