Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted butter / Olive Oil
  • 4 oz Good quality bitter-sweet chocolate
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar
  • 6 tbsp Flour
  • Optional: Powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, or berries for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 420°F (215°C).
  • Butter or oil your ramekins.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the butter (or oil) and chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted. Once it’s smooth and melted, let it cool slightly.
  • Add the sugar to the melted chocolate, whisking until smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until they're fully mixed.
  • Add the flour and continue whisking until smooth.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the ramekins.
  • Bake at 420°F (215°C) for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Let sit for 1 minute, then carefully run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
