3. Stir 2 eggs into mixture until thoroughly combined.
4. Next add in cocoa powder, salt and flour, mixing well to avoid lumps.

7. To the cream cheese add sugar, 1 egg, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix well until well combined
8. Spoon cream cheese mixture over the batter in the pan; gently smooth it over the brownie batter.
