On The Table
Simple Basque Cheesecake Recipe
Transform a few basic kitchen staples into an indulgent spin on a classic dessert in this episode of On The Table with Chef Meredith. This unique crust-free recipe that originates from the mountainous Basque country bordering Spain and France is a more rustic take on the classic all-American version. High temperature baking gives the cake a deep caramelized flavor and a dark lacquered finish while leaving the center custardy and quite dense in texture. To stay true to the Basque tradition, serve your beautiful confection unaccompanied and unadorned. The flavors are so lush and pure, you can save the berry coulis for your next creation.
