Basque cheesecake has a creamy center and a deeply caramelized "burnt" top and bottom thanks to a high-temperature baking process so no crust is needed.

Amazing Basque Cheesecake Recipe
Sunny Lee is a Brooklyn-based chef who has worked at Blue Hill Eleven Madison Park Estela Battersby and Insa. When she’s not contributing to Serious Eats she works as a freelance private chef at night. Sunny attended the Culinary Institute of America.
This cake is a deeply caramelized cousin of the American cheesecake inspired by the famous “tarta de queso” from Santiago Riviera of La Viña in Donostia-San Sebastián Spain. Its signature features are a burnt top and a barely set center the result of baking the eggy cream cheese batter at a very high temperature. To achieve the perfect balance between deep brown top and creamy center we chill the batter after mixing and sprinkle the top with sugar just before the cake goes into a 400 degree oven.
