Brownie
Preheat oven to 350F.

Cheesecake Topping
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer at medium speed to beat the cream cheese about 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
Beat in the sugar and the vanilla until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the egg until well blended. Set aside.
Brownie Layer
Put the chocolate, butter, and oil in a small heatproof bowl.
Place the bowl into an appropriate size saucepan that has an inch of water in it.
Heat to a very slow simmer, until the chocolate has melted.

Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over top.
Place into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is browned.
