Don’t worry, the extra eggs still keep this fudgy brownie rich and decadent.

Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on 2 sides.

Lightly coat with cooking spray.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.

Remove from heat and stir in cocoa, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Let cool, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Whisk in 3 eggs, 1 at a time; stir until the batter is glossy and smooth.

Transfer 1/3 cup batter to a small bowl and set aside.

Gently fold 3/4 cup flour into the batter in the pot.

Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.

Add the remaining egg and beat again until smooth.

Dollop the 1/3 cup reserved brownie batter onto the cream cheese layer.

Using a toothpick or sharp knife, swirl the dolloped brownie batter into the cheesecake layer.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

Let cool completely, about an hour, before cutting and serving.
