Description

Imagine a miniature indulgence, a savory cheesecake that dances on the palate with its surprising yet harmonious blend of flavors. This isn't your typical dessert; it's a sophisticated snack, a delightful appetizer, or even a conversation-starting addition to your brunch spread. The foundation of this savory treat is a buttery, subtly sweet pecan base.

The pecans, toasted to bring out their nutty essence, are combined with a touch of maple, lending a warm, comforting sweetness that perfectly complements the savory elements to come. This base provides a delightful textural contrast to the creamy layers above, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. Above the pecan base lies the heart of the cheesecake: a velvety smooth, rich cheese filling.

The cream cheese, whipped to airy perfection, provides a blank canvas for the star of the show: the tangy, pungent blue cheese. The blue cheese is carefully folded into the cream cheese, creating a marbled effect and ensuring that its distinctive flavor is present in every mouthful. The combination is a symphony of creamy and sharp, a delightful push and pull that keeps you coming back for more.

But the indulgence doesn't stop there. The cheesecake is crowned with crumbled bacon, adding a salty, smoky, and irresistibly crispy element. The bacon not only provides a contrasting texture but also enhances the savory notes of the blue cheese, creating a truly addictive flavor combination.

The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water. This mini savory cheesecake is more than just a recipe; it's an experience. It's a testament to the fact that sweet and savory can coexist in perfect harmony.

It's an unexpected delight that will impress your guests and tantalize your taste buds. Whether you're looking for a unique snack to enjoy with a glass of wine, a show-stopping appetizer for your next party, or simply a way to elevate your breakfast routine, this savory cheesecake is sure to deliver. It's a small bite with a big impact, a culinary adventure that will leave you craving more.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the pecans to a food processor along with the salt and pepper and blend to form a crumb.
    2.
    Melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat and add the pecan crumb and lakanto syrup. Stir to combine until the crumb is coated in the butter and syrup. Set aside to cool a little.
    3.
    Line a large ramekin with plastic wrap so that it over hangs the edges. Tip the cooled crumb mixture into the ramekin and press down firmly creating an even layer. Transfer to the fridge to set for 10 minutes.
    4.
    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until browned and very crisp. Set aside to cool.
    5.
    Add the blue cheese and cream cheese to a mixing bowl and mash together well to combine.
    6.
    Spoon the cheese mixture over the set pecan base so that it is level and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
    7.
    To serve, lift the cheesecake from the ramekin using the plastic wrap and sprinkle over the crispy bacon.
