Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until well combined. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
