Ingredients
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
3 egg whites
Preparation
Directions
Lightly grease 3 ramekins with butter. Melt the chocolate into the butter in a double boiler and let cool a bit.
Beat the egg yolks and sugar and mix into the chocolate.
Beat the egg whites in a bowl until they form soft peaks.
Fold the chocolate into the egg whites.
Pour the batter into the ramekins, no more than 2/3 full.
Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 7-10 minutes. The outside will be set and possibly crack and the inside will still be liquid.
Let cool for a few minutes and then run a knife around the edges and tip onto a plate. (Optional; Feel free to eat it right out of the ramekin with a spoon.)
