What’s a savory cheesecake?

Using a base of cream cheese—just like dessert cheesecake—it’s an unsweetened cheesecake that combines savory ingredients: herbs, vegetables, seafood, and/or other cheeses.

A savory cheesecake:

Can be a spread for party bread and crackers.

Can be a first course or cheese course consisting of a slice of cheesecake eaten with a fork. (We serve ours on a plate with a mesclun salad and vinaigrette.)

Can be large cheesecakes or individual cheesecakes.

Can combine just about any flavor, from shrimp to jalapeño to Roquefort.

Are great for special occasions.

Are always a big hit, because few people have ever had one.
