4 large eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, using the bottom of a flat measuring cup to press it down firmly.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt until everything is well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and smooth out the top.
Bake the cheesecake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set.
Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before serving.
Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the pan.

Slice and serve the cake and top it with your favorite fruit or sauce, if desired.

Enjoy!
