Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 large egg yolk and white separated

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Directions
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 10-ounce ramekin. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 15-second bursts, or over a pan of simmering water. Let it cool a little.
  2. Stir the egg yolk into the chocolate. In another bowl, beat the egg white for about 2 minutes, until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the egg white into the chocolate, keeping as much air in it as you can.
  4. Pour it into the ramekin and bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is set. Let it cool briefly before eating.
