A black-topped domed cheese cake cut open to show its pale center.

Tourteau fromager

France · Europe

Short description
This domed cheese cake is recognized by its dramatic black top and soft, lightly tangy interior.
Ingredients
Fresh goat cheese, eggs, sugar, and flour bake in pastry until the dome turns dark and the inside stays tender.
Cultural note
It is associated with a western dairy region where fresh goat cheese is folded into baked sweets.
Common misconception
The dark top is intentional; it is part of the dish, not a sign that the cake was ruined.
