A cheesecake is a
wonderful dessert that most people enjoy eating. You can make several
variations out of it. If you like jello recipes, then you can make a
recipe with a jello-topped fruit or plain jello topping. You can add
anything that you like to the original recipe including marshmallows,
nuts, chocolates, fruits or anything that you can find in your pantry or
refrigerator.
If you have read the culinary history, then you will know that cheesecake
was originally created by the Greeks and served to athletes during the
first Olympics. The Romans adapted the recipe and spread it throughout
Europe. The immigrants brought the recipe together with them when they
moved to America and other parts of the world. Thus, the entire recipe
that we currently have is no longer the original one, but a mixture of
the original recipe together with the mix of local taste. Hence, we
would like to know how the original recipe of our beloved food tastes.
We
are going to discuss how the recipe tastes like when it was first
introduced by the Greeks. This is a savory dish that is similar to
vegetable and cheese quiche with a different texture. The original
recipe is very easy to make, and you will surely love it especially if
you like to make genuine international recipes.
This recipe is
wonderful if you like savory meal ideas. The combination of olives,
vegetables, sour cream, feta cheese, breadcrumbs and many other
ingredients make this dish a gourmet feel. It is a good variation from
the usual egg-based savory dish.
To make the crust
Grease a
springform pan with 2 tablespoons of butter and preheat the oven to 375
degrees Fahrenheit. Mix on cup of breadcrumbs and one-fourth cup of
grated parmesan. Spread the mixture over the pan in order to form the
crust.
The mixture
Get a pound of cream cheese and beat it
until it looks fluffy. Add four eggs, a cup of crumbled feta cheese and a
cup of sour cream. Continue beating the mixture until it becomes very
smooth. Fold in a handful of chopped olives, a chopped red bell pepper,
two teaspoons of chopped basil and few pressed garlic cloves. The half
of the mixture will be poured into the pan. Get some artichoke hearts
and chop them. Mix and stir them into the other half of the mixture and
pour them all together into the pan.
Bake the cheesecake for about
45 minutes until it is golden brown. Let it cool to room temperature
before you start decorating it with additional crumbled feta cheese,
chopped black olives and chopped red bell pepper.
