I took other reviews into consideration when I made this recipe. I added more basil than the instructions called for and I squeezed in some fresh lemon juice. I made this two days in advance and brought it to room temperature before serving. I drizzled extra virgin olive oil and some pan roasted pine nuts over the top and served with Peppridge Farms cracker assortment. The flavors were soft and subtle but very tasty. Everyone enjoyed this appetizer and I will make it again. Next time I will add a bit more salt and pepper and maybe some lemon zest.

loved this receipe. did not want to spend $$ on pan I would not use much, found foil disposable pans in grocery store that works great. called pot pie pans & came with domed clear lids. going to make again using sun dried tomatoes & basil. should give it more flavor.

I was not that happy with the final flavor of this. I have to remember to go in and read the reviews before I make the item myself. I would have changed some things up front and it may have come out better for me. I would have prefered a little more flavor and a touch more sweetness. I will try it again and add in some additional herbs and maybe some honey to the cheese mix. I didn't have the specific sized springform pan either but used a smaller sized tart pan (5inthat I had and lined it fully with parchment paper. This worked great!. Thanks, Kathy

The taste of the cheesecake is disappointingly bland, definitely use more than just a pinch of salt. I put in 1/4 tsp and some pepper, next time I'll use a 1/2 tsp. I will say that the cake came out beautifully and looks exactly like the one in the photograph. It just needs something else to make it worth the calories and fat! Maybe sun-dried tomatoes?

Excellent recipe, I have made this at least 5-6 times and it is always a hit. It is so good with a high quality whole grain cracker, apple, grapes and wine. Yum! Wish I had some now.

Great recipe. I did only a scant amount of sugar and added a dry herb blend of basil, oregano, and red pepper. Also a little bit of an Italian 5 cheese blend. Finally, I sprinkled top with a few pinenuts. very attractive

Wonderful recipe! Instead of serving this with crackers, I spread it on thinly sliced hard salami and rolled them up. It was perfect and everyone loved it!

This was fun to make. I will make it again. I am a tough judge. There were many people who ate this and really liked it. It truly was a big hit.

AWESOME!!! Will make this one again and again. Did not have a springform pan in the correct size, but it did fine with a small casserole dish.
