Add egg and milk, stir until smooth batter forms with no lumps.
Step 3
Scatter chocolate chips and butter into the batter, stir gently once or twice.
Step 4
Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes until the top is set but jiggles slightly when tapped.
Step 5
Let cool 1 minute so the chocolate stays molten inside, then top with cocoa powder or whipped cream.
