    I tried this and through it out after 4 bites. I thought I could get "used" to it, but ended up dissatisfied. Basil does not go well with a cheesecake. It leaves a horrible aftertaste.

    Basil Cheesecake, A great Appetizer for the holidays!, I tried this and through it out after 4 bites I thought I could get used to it, but ended up dissatisfied Basil does not go well with a cheesecake It leaves a horrible aftertaste , This is very good and the 2 reasons I couldn’t give it a 5 is b/c the eggs made the texture more like a quiche (not really what I was looking for) and it’s not very attractive
