Savory Cheesecake is an Intriguing Twist on a Classic Treat

A classic New York-style cheesecake is one of our favorite desserts. The delicious, creamy filling is refreshing and an option that isn’t quite as sweet as some more intense desserts. If you combine it with the tart qualities of berry-like blueberries or raspberries, you’ve got yourself something special.

Did you know, however, that cheesecake doesn’t even have to be sweet or a dessert?

Savory cheesecake is a fascinating twist on what most of us think of when we hear the word “cheesecake.” When you think about it, it makes a ton of sense to combine savory ingredients with a cheesecake base.

And trust us, it can be absolutely delicious.

Instead of adding additional sugar to the cheesecake filling, savory cheesecakes either opt for a sugarless option or even to use a more savory filling such as blue cheese or feta.

Then, for the crust, you’ll want to use a salty and savory cracker such as crumbled Ritz. Then, by following the rest of the steps of making a normal cheesecake, you can make your own savory cheesecake.

This base allows for tons of possible additions, including vegetables, caramelized onions, and even chicken! If you are looking for a truly unique appetizer option or for a dish that’s sure to wow at a party.
