Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt, and mix until smooth. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Combine and Bake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

Cool and Serve
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Then remove it from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
