Preparation and Baking

Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and salt until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

Assemble and Bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an hour to cool gradually.
