Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F), conventional. Line a ramekin or small mold 7 cm across, 4 cm deep and about 140 ml with parchment paper; the paper replaces greasing. Beat an egg, then weigh 25 g; keep the rest in the refrigerator for another use.
Set aside a 4 g piece from the 22 g of 70% dark chocolate. Chop the remaining 18 g and melt it with the 4 g of butter in a small bowl over simmering water, without touching the water, for about 3 minutes. Take the bowl off as soon as the mixture is smooth and lukewarm, around 40 °C (105 °F).
Whisk the 25 g of egg with the 5 g of sugar for 1 minute. Stir in the melted chocolate, then the 40 g of fromage blanc and finally the 10 g of flour. Mix just until no dry flour remains.
