The basque technique for baking cheesecake yields an incredible flavor and texture. The cheesecake is baked on a high temperature, browning the lactose and additional sugars on the surface and creating a Maillard reaction that adds depth and intrigue to the flavor of the cheesecake, paired with a melt-in-your-mouth custard center.
