Tomato cheesecake

Basil cake, salted cream cheese, sun-dried tomato filling, a little arugula, balsamic, truffle oil, very tasty.

Recipe for a shape with a diameter of 25 cm:

Cake.

Shortbread dough from wholemeal flour 200g (recipe here the proportions are exactly the same, only sesame do not need to put) + 2-3 stalks of basil + 5-7 large sun-dried tomatoes punch in a blender until a homogeneous consistency.

If you do not have a very powerful blender, then punch only basil and tomatoes in it and then add them to the dough, mix.

We distribute the dough on the bottom and a little on the sides of the detachable form, make chaotic punctures with a fork, put it in the oven preheated to 160C for 15-20 minutes. We take out and cool a little.

The basis.

700g curd cheese + 300g sour cream + 4 eggs dried tomatoes for layers and decorations (500-600g). Punch dried tomatoes in a blender (400-500g), except for those that will be used for decoration (100g). Knead the cheese, mix with sour cream, then add the eggs one at a time. Carefully knead the curd mass after adding each of the eggs.

Assembly of cheesecake.

Spread 1/2 chopped sun-dried tomatoes on the cake, then pour 1/2 of the cheese mass, then tomatoes again and finish with cheese. We send it to the oven for 50-60min at 160 C.

Feed.

This is an important point, since this dish is not a traditional sweet dessert, but is a “cheese on bread”, so eating it as a piece of cake is not tasty at all!

I recommend serving cheesecake on any salad leaves under a dressing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Optionally, you can add avocado to the leaves. Spread a small piece of cheesecake on top, a little dried tomatoes (you can cut them for ease of eating), sprinkle with balsamic cream and truffle oil.

It turns out a masterpiece!

Below are photos of cheesecake according to a recipe that is slightly different from the basic one. The difference is that the curd mass I divided into two parts. In one I added 3st. L. tomato paste, and in the second – 1stl.L. with a slide of dry basil (it can be replaced with a couple of spoons of pesto). And dried tomatoes, on the contrary, did not spread in two layers, but made 1 thick layer on the cake.

I liked this option even more, it turned out a pleasant taste alternation: basil cake, then tomatoes, then basil cheese layer, then tomato layer.
