I didn't know what this meant, but after reading it it makes sense. This is something needed in the Baked Macaroni and Cheese recipe. This recipe came from my daughter and son-in-law.

How To Make temper an egg

Step 1

Crack the egg into a small bowl. Beat it with a fork or small whisk until it is lightly beaten.

Step 2

Measure 1 tablespoon of the heated liquid and pour it gradually into the egg, whisking or beating it constantly to incorporate the liquid into the egg.
Step 3

Repeat this process, adding tablespoons of the hot liquid gradually until the temperature of the egg mixture is equivalent to the temperature of the hot liquid.
Step 4

Pour the egg mixture slowly into the hot liquid, stirring to incorporate it.
