SAVORY SUMMER CHEESECAKE
I'm not a big dessert guy and almost always prefer another savory course instead, but if I am going to have dessert, cheesecake is one of my favorites. When you combine those two facts, it's no surprise I tried an experiment with a savory cheesecake. A nice green salad, with or without tomatoes, would be a perfect pairing for this.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch springform pan well.
- Start the filling: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute peppers and onions with a large pinch of salt until onions just start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- While the pepper mixture is cooling, prepare the crust: Combine crushed cracker crumbs, dried Italian herbs, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until crumbs are coated.
- Transfer the buttered crumbs into the prepared springform pan and press down into an even layer. Set aside until needed.
- Continue the filling: Combine eggs, flour, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the creme fraiche, cream cheese, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and mix until smooth. Stir in parsley, tarragon, thyme, and cooled pepper mixture until evenly combined.
- Transfer cheese mixture into the prepared springform pan. Tap the pan gently to settle the contents and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the lower center of the preheated oven until a skewer poked into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and carefully remove the ring.
- Cheesecake should be thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator before serving, about 2 hours. Cheesecake can be served at room temperature, but it will not have the classic smooth, firm cheesecake texture, and will be more like a very light cheese quiche.

SAVORY CHICKEN CHEESECAKE WITH CRANBERRY-ORANGE RELISH
A delicious appetizer for holiday gatherings when cranberries are plentiful. My dear MIL made her own cranberry relish - and I don't have her recipe but my mom made hers like Mimi from Maine's #202126 or pick one up at the grocery store during the November-December holiday months.

SAVORY CHEESECAKE
Got this recipe from my viewing of FoodTV...it's an addiction really. I had hoped to make it for a gathering but have yet to have one since I got this one. I think I would exchange the trout for another meat...but thats up to individual taste I think. Enjoy
