Basque Burnt Cheesecake Recipe

Image
This cheesecake is the alter ego to the classic New York–style cheesecake with a press-in cookie crust INGREDIENTS Unsalted butter (for pan) 2 lb. cream cheese, room temperature 1½ cups sugar 6 large eggs 2 cups heavy cream 1 tsp. kosher salt 1 tsp. vanilla extract ⅓ cup all-purpose flour RECIPE PREPARATION 1. Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Butter pan, then line with 2 overlapping 16x12" sheets of parchment, making sure parchment comes at least 2" above top of pan on all sides. Because the parchment needs to be pleated and creased in some areas to fit in pan, you won’t end up with a clean, smooth outer edge to the cake; that’s okay! Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet. 2.

It is served with shredded chicken, prawn, egg strips, bean sprouts and lime. This is my personal favourite! 2. Kolo Mee or Kampua Mee This mee is often served with sliced meat.
