Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, large eggs, and egg yolks until well combined and slightly frothy.

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to incorporate. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Add Flour
Sift the all-purpose flour into the mixture and gently fold it in until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
