INGREDIENTS⬇️
4 large eggs
10 oz semisweet chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS⬇️
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with oil.
In the bowl, add eggs and beat eggs with mixer until frothy. Increase mixing speed to highest setting and continue to beat eggs for about 8 minutes. They will become a very pale yellow and mixture triples in volume and becomes thick. See photo. 
While your eggs are beating, melt your chocolate in the microwave or on the stove. If using microwave, melt at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Let chocolate cool slightly so it's no longer too hot to touch. 
Add in 1/3 of the egg mixture. Fold in the egg mixture using a spatula until egg is completely incorporated. Repeat with another 1/3 and then remaining 1/3. Towards the end, your chocolate may start getting a little stiff. That is okay. Break up any chocolate clumps using your spatula.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The surface of the brownies should also be firm. Let brownies cool before cutting and serving.
