Lemon curd. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, and 3/4 cup sugar until well blended. Set over a pan of gently simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to thicken noticeably, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and stir in 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture is smooth and glossy. Cover bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap pressed against the curd's surface and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
