FRANCOIS PAYARD’S – Brownie with White Chocolate Chips and Walnuts

Serves 10-12

Preheat the oven to 140 degrees C.

Whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl. Combine the butter and chocolate and add to the mixing bowl. Fold in the flour, followed by the walnuts and white chocolate chips. Pour into a large shallow rectangular cake pan until the batter is approximately 2-3 cm deep. Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife plunged into the center barely comes out clean. Cool in the pan, and cut into the rectangles if desired. Serve at room temperature.

2 TSP vanilla

1 TSP salt
