Brown Butter Basque Cheesecake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.

   Tip: Be careful not to burn the butter.

3. 3

   Remove the browned butter from the heat and whisk in the sugar until dissolved.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract.

6. 6

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

   Tip: Do not overmix.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheets.

8. 8

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.

   Tip: Avoid overbaking, as this can cause the cheesecake to crack.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.

    Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
