Cheese charlotte is a classic French dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a baked dish that is made with a combination of cheese, eggs, and bread. The cheese is usually a soft, creamy cheese such as cream cheese or ricotta cheese. The eggs help to bind the ingredients together and give the charlotte a light and fluffy texture. The bread is typically used to create a crust for the charlotte. This dessert can be served warm or cold and can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings such as fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

- Make sure to beat the egg whites until they are stiff. This will help to give the Charlotte its light and fluffy texture.
- When folding the egg whites into the cheese mixture, be gentle. Do not overmix, or you will deflate the egg whites and the Charlotte will not be as light and fluffy.
- Bake the Charlotte in a bain-marie, or water bath. This will help to prevent the Charlotte from overcooking and becoming dry.
