Lemon Curd

1. Prepare the Crust:

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, whisk together eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until well combined.

2. 2

   Place the saucepan over low heat and add butter cubes. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture thickens (about 10-15 minutes). Do not boil.

   10 min
3. 3

   Once thickened, remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or zest if desired.

4. 4

   Pour the lemon curd into a jar or container, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
