Yield::1 9-inch cheesecake
Ingredients
1 tablespoon soft unsalted butter, or as needed
parchment paper
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fine salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 jumbo eggs, at room temperature
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Butter a 9-inch cake pan. Cut a sheet of parchment paper large enough to line the inside of the pan by a few extra inches. Butter the paper and press it into the pan, flattening any major creases. Trim away any excess paper from the sides until you have an inch or two of overhang.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan against the counter to burst any excess air bubbles.

Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, very well browned, and nearly burned on the edges, 50 to 55 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for the last 10 minutes.
Let cheesecake cool to room temperature, at least 25 minutes. Lift out onto a plate and peel back parchment paper, using a knife or spatula if needed. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, 4 hours to overnight.

Recipe Tips
Depending on the size of the roll or sheet of parchment paper you buy, you may have to overlap it.
You can use 5 large eggs if you don't have jumbo eggs, and 3/4 to 1 teaspoon of kosher salt instead of the 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt.
