How about trying a savory cheesecake with a twist? Here's a recipe for a Bacon and Blue Cheese Savory Cheesecake:

Ingredients:

For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed crackers, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the blue cheese, bacon, sour cream, eggs, green onions, and black pepper, and beat until well combined.

4. Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.

5. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

6. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

7. Before serving, run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan. Remove the sides of the springform pan.

8. Slice and serve the savory cheesecake as an appetizer or as part of a brunch spread. Enjoy the unique combination of flavors!
