Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons plus 1 cup butter, cubed, divided
  • 6 teaspoons plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided
  • 1-1/4 pounds semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 large egg yolks

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease six 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups with 2 teaspoons butter. Sprinkle sides and bottoms of each ramekin with 1 teaspoon sugar; set aside.
