Charred Lemon Bar with brown butter

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: unsalted butter, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the lemon bar and let it charred, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the eggs and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with chili crisp right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
