HERBED CHEESECAKE (SAVORY STYLE CHEESECAKE)



Herbed Cheesecake (Savory Style Cheesecake) image

This is a recipe I made up when I couldn't find one on the site that exactly fit my desires. We have a fresh herb garden, so I used a variety of fresh herbs, but you can use whatever you have on hand. I'm not sure that dried would work, but I'm sure if you used a single herb it would work out well too (like rosemary).

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 pie, 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup cracker crumb
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 eggs
3 cups parmesan cheese
1/3 cup swiss cheese, grated
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 bunch fresh herb, finely chopped (I used 1 sprig dill, 1 sprig rosemary, a little sage, some chives, some thyme, and a little oregano,)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Take the cracker crumbs, the first of the parmesan cheese and the butter and mix together in a small springform pan.
  • Press crust all along the bottom and up sides about one inch.
  • Bake crust about 10-15 mins or until you start to smell that it's "done" (trust me, you'll know- the cheese starts to get toasty- mine was done after 12 mins).
  • While it's baking, prepare cheesecake.
  • Mix the cream cheese, whipping cream, and eggs together.
  • Add in the parmesan, swiss, green onions, and whatever herbs of choice you plan on using.
  • Pour into crust.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes (oven times of course vary).
