Impresionante como siempre!! me encanta, creo que hay “traductor” o algo que nos trata de Vd. bsss
What a great idea! It looks delicious….
Fantastica idea, un cheesecake salado!!! Muchísimas gracias por tanta inspiración!
No sé cómo he llegado a la página en inglés, me imagino que le he dado al botón que no era en Facebook. Me encanta la receta y la pinta, ya sabes que soy más de salado ;)) Y justo ayer compré tomatitos de colores, lo tengo a huevo!
LOVING this savory tomato cheesecake!! Pinned!!
Amazing! I love the idea of a savoury cheesecake. Beautiful!
Oh wow, this looks fantastic. And not too difficult, either. I have to try this!
wow ! it seems so gooooood !
I will try it as soon as possible !
This just blew my mind! I’m not a big cheesecake person, but a savory cheesecake is totally something that sounds AMAZING!!!
It sounded great, I’ve been waiting for my cherry tomatoes to mature and made the recipe this morning, I was so excited!!!!
But I have to say that the crust is completely falling apart! A disaster!
The filling was so liquid after 25mn that I had to cook it for 35mn more!
Is there a slight problem with the recipe? Maybe you forgor to add a step to it? Should’nt we cook the crust on its own first? Or maybe we should bain-marie the cheesecake in the oven?
Any suggestion?
I’ve tried many recipes of yours, you’re my kitchen & photography guru! I’ve been so disapointed 🙁
Sorry to hear that, but the recipe really works! you can check the “Who has prepared this recipe” section 🙂 If the crust was too crumbly, maybe it needed some more butter, dependind on the crackers you used… Unless you changed cheese cream for low fat cheese cream. In that case, the recipe might not work.
Thank you for the quickest answer ever SandeeA!
Well I didn’t know about the “who has prepared this recipe” section, that’s great!
Obviously it worked for many persons!
Well I don’t know, I didn’t use low-fat and I used TUC as you say on the Spanish recipe…
And 25 mn for a cheesecake still sounds to little time to me…maybe the filling sets once it’s cooling?
Anyway…sometimes it doesn’t work for everyone 🙂
Gracias de todos modos, you’re a star!
Hello!! I’m writting back to you just to apologize and tell you that it worked in the end. I made another one and it wasn’t as crumbly as the first one. I just made the crust shorter on the sides so it holds perfectly the filling. (you don’t want the crust to be too high).
This is a really nice and tasty savoury cheescake.
Thank you SandeeA!!!
thank u
i just made it and its so sos os osososososo good !
Love this. Made for Easter and it was a huge hit!
I made it the day before and used roaster vegetable ritz crackers for the crust.. Also I made the topping and used basil, garlic, olive oil and balsamic with the tomatoes the day before.
Will make again.
Must do! This looks like a powerfully delicious summer-time treat. What kind of crackers do you use for this cheesecake?
Can you make this in a low tart baking tray?
