Creamy Mediterranean Delight Cheesecake

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 containers (8 oz each) Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
• 1 roasted red pepper, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios. Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan.
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is set and slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the diced roasted red pepper and crumbled feta cheese. Spread this mixture over the cooled cheesecake.
7. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely.
8. Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and enjoy!
