Remove ¼ cup of the honey lemon juice mixture from the pot and whisk it into the whisked egg. This will temper the eggs and stop them from curdling. Transfer the eggs back to the pot and whisk until combined. Cook on medium for 2 to 3 minutes. It should thicken fairly quickly. *Once the egg has been added, it should become frothy while cooking
