Recipe Notes:
1. Make süre
to üse high qüality chocolate, not chocolate chips. Yoü won't have müch
"lava" with chocolate chips! I süggest high qüality chocolate baking
bars sold in the baking aisle süch as Baker's, Ghirardelli, Nestle, or Lindt.
They're all typically sold in 4 oünce bars, so yoü will need 1 and 1/2 bars
total.
2. A note
on the eggs-- for this recipe, yoü need 2 whole eggs plüs an addition 2 egg
yolks. (So yoü can üse 2 extra whites in yoür healthy omelet tomorrow morning
or in any of these recipes!) After
10-14 minütes in an oven this hot, the eggs shoüld be cooked to 160°F which is
considered safe to eat. If yoü're concerned, yoü can take the temperatüre to be
süre!
