Essence of Basque Cheesecake
Baked hot and fast in a lined tin until the surface goes past golden and keeps going. It is meant to sink as it cools, and it is meant to be soft enough at the centre to spoon rather than slice.

What makes it true
Burnt across the top, barely set in the middle, no base and no water bath. The scorch is the recipe — not a flaw we decided to keep.
