Lemon Curd

3 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 cup lemon juice 2 tsp lemon zest (I use zest of 1 lemon) Whisk 3 eggs. Whisk in 3/4 cup sugar. Whisk in melted butter, lemon juice and zest. Microwave for 1 minute then whisk. Microwave for 1 minute then whisk. Repeat until it starts to set (will set more when cool). My microwave takes 4 minutes total.
