'burnt' cheesecake method
deserved the hype; baking it in
a very hot oven delivers a
beautiful, dark exterior full of
bittersweet notes that make
the light, creamy cheesecake
interior seem even more rich
and flavorful. Plus, this method
is just plain easier--just
remember the parchment
paper. So, if you've not had
much luck with traditional
cheesecake methods, you
should stop trying and make
this exclusively.

a few extra inches. Butter the paper and press it

browned, and nearly burned on the edges, 50 to 55
minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees
F (220 degrees C) in the last 10 minutes.

25 minutes. Li out onto a plate and peel back
parchment paper, using a knife or spatula if
needed. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, 4
hours to overnight.

Chef's Notes:
3/4 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt can be substituted for
the fine salt.

Tips
You can use 5 large eggs if you don't have jumbo
eggs.

Tips
1 Depending on the size of the roll or sheet you buy,
you may have to overlap it.

Tips
The original recipe was developed in the '70s, at a
cafe in San Sebastian called La Vina. I adapted it to
fit a standard cake pan rather than the large
springform pan used in the original.
