Breakfast Cheesecake
Author: 
 
My mother serves this for breakfast every Shabbos morning and my family polish two cakes off completely. You can use reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat sour cream for a lighter version of the cheesecake. You can also serve this in a pyrex baking dish or in a spring form pan for a more elegant presentation.” Although this recipe makes three pies this cheesecake freezes well so simply wrap the extras if there are any and freeze to enjoy later.
