Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

cooking spray
½ cup dry Italian-seasoned bread crumbs (such as Progresso®)
⅓ cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese
¼ cup melted butter
3 (8 ounce) packages reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel)
4 large eggs
1 ¼ cups shredded Gruyere cheese
½ cup fat-free half-and-half
⅓ cup diced ham
4 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
3 green onions, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 24 muffin tin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners.
Mix bread crumbs, Pecorino Romano cheese, and melted butter together in a small bowl. Spoon about 1 teaspoon mixture into each of the prepared muffin cups, pressing down.
Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined. Stir in Gruyere cheese, half-and-half, ham, bacon, bell pepper, green onions, salt, and pepper. Pour about 1/4 cup of the mixture into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecakes are firm to the touch and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in muffin tins for 10 minutes.

Steps:

For the crust: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom of four 4-inch springform pans with nonstick spray.
Mix the cracker crumbs, butter and pecans in a medium bowl until evenly moistened. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pans. Bake until the crusts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool the pans on a rack.

Beat together using an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture on top of one of the cooled crusts in the pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 4 hours.
When ready to serve, unmold the sides of the pan from the cake and peel off the parchment. Top with the candied bacon and scallion greens.
For the blue cheese cheesecake: Add the cream cheese, blue cheese, cream and some salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Beat together using an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Fold in the dates and shallots. Spoon the mixture on top of one of the cooled crusts in the pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 hours.
When ready to serve, unmold the sides of the pan from the cake and peel off the parchment. Top with the candied walnuts and a drizzle of honey.
For the mozzarella-basil cheesecake: Add the cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, cream and some salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Beat together using an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Fold in the chopped basil. Spoon the mixture on top of one of the cooled crusts in the pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 hours.
When ready to serve, unmold the sides of the pan from the cake and peel off the parchment. Top with the cherry tomatoes, drizzles of balsamic syrup and olive oil and a sprig of basil.
For the goat cheese-herb cheesecake: Add the cream cheese, goat cheese, cream, parsley, rosemary, lemon zest, Worcestershire to taste and some salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Beat together using an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture on top of one of the cooled crusts in the pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Spread the jam over top. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 hours.
When ready to serve, unmold the sides of the pan from the cake and peel off the parchment.

SAVOURY MINI CHEESECAKES

Savoury Mini Cheesecakes image

You can prepare 2 different tastes from 1 filling, which means you can please both vegetarians and seafood lovers at the same time. These tarts should be frozen if you are packaging them as they are fragile. They should also be refrigerated if not eaten right away. A great partner for a well-balanced dry white wine. Cheesecakes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen. Recipe created by Chef Jill Snider of Ontario.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your mini cheesecakes will taste. Use full-fat cream cheese, unsalted butter, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the mini cheesecakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the mini cheesecakes in a water bath: This will help prevent the mini cheesecakes from cracking.
Let the mini cheesecakes cool completely before serving: This will allow the cheesecakes to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These savoury mini cheesecakes are a delicious and elegant appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. They can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
