• Bake for 5 minutes at 425F, then lower the heat to 375F and continue baking for 15 additional minutes, or until the edges of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Just be careful that your toothpick doesn't go into the cheesecake filling and you think it's wet batter! Cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes (they will fall apart if you try to take them out right away) and transfer to a wire rack to let them cool completely.
