SAVORY SUMMER CHEESECAKE



Savory Summer Cheesecake image

I'm not a big dessert guy and almost always prefer another savory course instead, but if I am going to have dessert, cheesecake is one of my favorites. When you combine those two facts, it's no surprise I tried an experiment with a savory cheesecake. A nice green salad, with or without tomatoes, would be a perfect pairing for this.

Categories     Main Dishes     Savory Pie Recipes

Time 4h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups diced bell peppers
½ cup diced yellow onions
1 pinch salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed, or to taste
4 large eggs
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 cup creme fraiche
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
4 ¼ ounces plain crackers, finely crushed
¼ teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch springform pan well.
  • Start the filling: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute peppers and onions with a large pinch of salt until onions just start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • While the pepper mixture is cooling, prepare the crust: Combine crushed cracker crumbs, dried Italian herbs, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until crumbs are coated.
  • Transfer the buttered crumbs into the prepared springform pan and press down into an even layer. Set aside until needed.
  • Continue the filling: Combine eggs, flour, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the creme fraiche, cream cheese, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and mix until smooth. Stir in parsley, tarragon, thyme, and cooled pepper mixture until evenly combined.
  • Transfer cheese mixture into the prepared springform pan. Tap the pan gently to settle the contents and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the lower center of the preheated oven until a skewer poked into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and carefully remove the ring.
  • Cheesecake should be thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator before serving, about 2 hours. Cheesecake can be served at room temperature, but it will not have the classic smooth, firm cheesecake texture, and will be more like a very light cheese quiche.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for fresh, ripe produce and high-quality cheese.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough and dense.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before serving. This will help to set the cheesecake and make it easier to slice.
  • Garnish the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a savory sauce.

Conclusion:

Mexican cheesecake is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a savory appetizer or a sweet dessert, there's a Mexican cheesecake recipe that's perfect for you. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, Mexican cheesecake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
