Time 30m

Yield 24 mini cheesecakes, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 slices white bread
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon butter, melted
salt & freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
1 egg
2 tablespoons thyme, chopped (or any fresh herb)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two mini-muffin trays (each with 12 cups). Break up bread and place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add walnuts, melted butter, salt and pepper and pulse until fairly smooth. Divide mixture between muffin cups, pressing down firmly to form the cheesecakes' crusts.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat together cream cheese and goat cheese. Add the egg and beat well. Stir in thyme and season with salt and pepper. Divide goat cheese mixture between muffin cups, gently smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  • Bake until cheesecakes are slightly puffed and lightly golden, approximately 15 minutes. Let cheesecakes cool for 5 minutes before unmolding, running a thin knife around edges while still hot. Serve warm or at room temperature.
