My mom was the best cook-everything she made was special. She served this elegant cheesecake on Sunday following a Saturday ham dinner. Now my family loves it, too!-Shannon Soper, West Bend, Wisconsin

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I would try a simpler recipe next time.

The cheesecake was a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would try using a different type of cheese next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of salt in the filling next time.

I'm not a big fan of savory cheesecakes, but this one was surprisingly good. The ham and cheese filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was nice and crispy.

This cheesecake is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a nice change of pace from the usual sweet cheesecakes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cheesecake turned out perfect! It's so rich and decadent, but not too heavy. The ham and cheese add just the right amount of saltiness.
