Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease six ramekins with unsalted butter, dusting with all-purpose flour.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add granulated sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in the eggs and yolks one at a time, ensuring the mixture is smooth and glossy after each addition.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to maintain the batter's consistency.
  6. Fold in all-purpose flour and chopped pistachios carefully to combine without overmixing.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm and the center is soft.
  9. Let them cool for 3-5 minutes, then run a knife around edges and invert onto plates.
  10. Serve warm with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy!
