EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Be sure not to overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing creates air bubbles in the batter, which make the cheesecake crack.

Holiday entertaining just got easier! This fabulous savory cheesecake can be made up to 48 hours before your party.

Arrange whole toasted walnuts on the center of the cheesecake, and sprinkle chopped toasted walnuts over the remainder of the cake.

Absolutely delicious! I have made this for almost every one of my cocktail/holiday parties and each time it is a huge hit. I like to serve with pear and apple slices as well as gourmet crackers.
