1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.
2
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, mixing until well combined. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing well. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
3
Combine and Bake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
4
Cool and Serve
Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Serve chilled.
