Ingredients:

• 8 ounces 70% bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes

• 4 large eggs

• ½ cup white sugar

• ⅛ teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter six 4-ounce ramekins and arrange them on a baking sheet.

2. Melt the chopped chocolate and cold butter together in a heatproof bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. In a stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).

4. Lower the mixer speed and add the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until combined.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and molten.

7. Let cool in the ramekins for 3 minutes before serving.
