Ingredients

• 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
• 1/4 lb. unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• l tbsp. vanilla
• pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup sifted flour
• 3/4 cup Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 8 or 9" square pan. Dust bottom with fine bread crumbs mixed with 1 tsp. cocoa. Shake out excess. Place unsweetened chocolate and butter in a small double boiler. Stir until smooth and melted; then set aside to cool slightly. In a small bowl, beat the eggs on high for 30 seconds until foamy and slightly increased in volume. On low, gradually add the sugar and beat for just a few seconds (too long and it will be dry). Add the vanilla and chocolate mixture, lightly mixing with a spatula. Add the flour, scraping sides. Fold in the chocolate chips. Bake for 30 minutes. Test near the corners so the edges don't get too brown. If still gooey, bake for 5 more minutes.
