These can be done without the cream cheese marble as well.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
- 3 ounces finely chopped semisweet chocolate
- 3 ounces finely chopped unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Marble:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (the microwave for 45 seconds at 50 percent power is a great way to do this)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, so that the edges of the paper come up the sides. Lightly butter the paper.
Put both the semisweet and unsweetened chocolates and the butter in a heatproof medium bowl. Fill a medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowl of chocolate over the water to melt. Whisk until smooth. (Alternatively, melt in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
Whisk the flour and salt in a bowl.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just blended. Take care not to over mix the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
For the marble swirl: Whisk the cream cheese with the sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Drop very large spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the surface of the brownie batter. Insert a butter knife through the batter to the bottom of the pan. With the flat edge of the knife, make swirling motions through the batters, occasionally lifting the knife through the top, until the dark and light batters are marbled.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out coated with a fudge-y crumb, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the brownies in the pan on a rack.
To take the brownies out of the pan, lift the edges of the paper. Cut the brownies into squares. Serve.

These brownies take 20 minutes to make and are showstoppers! I didn't find them eggy at all. They came out great after cooling completely in pan. I used semi sweet chocolate chips and didn't even chop the chocolate- just melted it in a double boiler. It looks like a lot of cream cheese topping, but after you marble it in it's just right.

i made these for my girlfriend's family for the christmas holidays. they all loved them, so much so that they are getting me to make them some more for new year's eve tonight. i will say though that the cream cheese doesnt seem to stand out very much. its a very subtle cream cheese flavor. still, very good.
