Instructions

Add lemon juice, sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, and eggs into a large microwave-safe bowl. Whisk together until it comes together.
Microwave for in 1 minute increments, stirring after each minute, until the curd thickens and coats the back of a spoon and hits 185 F. (This took me 8 minutes in my microwave)
Stir in 2 tablespoons of softened butter until all the butter is melted into the lemon curd.
Pour the lemon curd through a sieve into a large bowl to make sure the curd is super smooth.
Spoon the lemon curd into a jar and refrigerate until cool. Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 1 year! Enjoy on toast, yogurt, or whatever your heart desires!
