EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Savory cheesecakes are an excellent choice for large parties. They can be made several days ahead of time, require no fusy assembly like individual appetizers and are beautiful when garnished and served on a pedestal plate.

Tyr preparing the crust with cornbread crumbs instead of bread crumbs.

Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to evenly flatten and push the crust over the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan.

I made this yesterday for Mom's 90th birthday party. I didn't have time to let it cool for 3 hours, but was great warm! The only thing I did differently was I used canned White Shoepeg corn and chile powder for the cumin, as I was out of that spice. Was told I would have to have this again at family functions and several wanted the recipe.
