Never have to choose between breakfast or dessert with this delicious Breakfast Cheesecake recipe. With a sweet, creamy filling surrounded by flaky crust it is the perfect coffee pairing or brunch dish.
I love breakfast food, almost as much as I love dessert. Although dessert for breakfast may be frowned upon, no one is going to judge you for this breakfast cheesecake. It’s like the rich, creamy goodness of a cheesecake with the breakfast dignity of a danish. And did I mention is SO easy to make? Seriously, 5 ingredients + 30 minutes.
Flaky, golden brown but soft and creamy in the middle. Perfect with some fruit on top (or dare I say powdered sugar? Chocolate syrup?). This is best served warm from the oven, but it refrigerates and reheats really well. Don’t microwave it for too long though, 15-20 seconds is all it needs. This is one of those dishes that I end up eating the entire pan one-seemingly-harmless-spoonful at a time.
