Directions
Mexican Cheesecake (Savoury), This is a savoury cheesecake best served as an appetizer or a main course, accompanied by a lovely, leafy salad , Very Good! I fed this to some vegetarian friends and some others I bought the sour cream, but forgot to put it in; however it was still great I had to tone it down for those with terminal gringo mouth, but it was still quite flavorful Thanks for the great recipe I’m always looking for something I can feed my veggie friends that the carnivores will eat too , I would give this dish 6 stars if I could My husband says he now has a new dish he will request every year on his birthday I didn’t have a very good larger pan for the hot water, so it was a little heavy and unwieldy, but this was so good that it merits a trip to Wms Sonoma for a specialty custard dish Absolutely delicious Thank you!
