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.
