Baked Breakfast Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Press 1 package's worth of crescent rolls, still connected, onto the bottom of a greased 9x12-inch baking dish.
• Combine cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Spread mixture on top of the crescent roll "crust" in the baking dish.
• Cover cream cheese filling with the second package of crescent roll dough and brush with egg white.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Steps:

• Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter; press mixture into the bottom of a 10" springform pan; set aside.
• Blend cream cheese and sugar together (in a food processor or with a medium-speed electric mixer) until smooth; add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition; add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla; blend well; pour filling over the crust and spread evenly.
• Lay a sheet of aluminum foil that has been bent up slightly to form a "foil tent" over the top of pan and not touching cheesecake (this is to prevent overbrowning) then bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes (remove foil tent after 50-55 minutes) or until top is set.
• Combine sour cream and sugar; remove cheesecake from oven and immediately spread sour cream mixture over its top; return cheesecake to oven for 5 minutes to set topping; remove from oven.
• Cool cheesecake on wire rack; cover and refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
• Just before serving remove sides of springform pan and transfer cheesecake to serving platter; garnish cheesecake with berries (we like chilled cherry pie filling on top) and serve.
• OPTIONAL: Just before pressing the graham crust into the bottom of the springform pan, spray the pan's inner sides with a little no-stick cooking spray, sprinkle a spoonful of combined graham cracker crumbs and sugar into the pan, then tilt and spread that mixture around so that it sticks to the coated sides and later adds to the visual appeal of your finished cheesecake.

Steps:

• Press one can of crescent rolls in bottom of a greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.
• Mix cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla until smooth.
• Spread over crescent rolls.
• Roll out another can of crescent rolls and place on top of cream cheese.
• Beat egg white and brush on top.
• Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle on top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F Generously butter a 9" springform pan.
• Using a wooden spoon, stand mixer with paddle attachment or food processor, beat cheese until soft and smooth. Add melted butter, grain product (oats, semolina or flour), salt, sugar, eggs, orange zest and orange juice. Add raisins, if using (if using a food processor, fold them in by hand).
• Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until just barely set and still wobbly in the center, about 25 minutes.
• Serve hot, warm or at room temperature. Serve with fresh fruit, fruit compote, jam, yogurt or sour cream, or any combination thereof. For dessert, dust with confectioner's sugar and serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a 8x2-inch round springform pan in the preheated oven. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl; mix well. Pat mixture into the bottom of the springform pan with butter.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden and set, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• While crust is cooling, beat eggs using an electric mixer in a bowl for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup sugar and beat for 2 minutes more. Mix in cream cheese and cottage cheese slowly, adding one package of cream cheese at a time. Pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat for 10 minutes. Pour filling into the cooled crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firmly set, about 1 hour.
• While cake is baking, mix together sour cream, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for frosting. Set aside and allow to reach room temperature.
• Remove cheesecake from the oven. Spread frosting carefully onto the top of the warm cheesecake.
• Return cheesecake to the oven and bake until topping is golden and set, 10 to 12 minutes more.
• Turn off the oven and allow cake to cool to near-room temperature in the oven, as this is key in preventing cracks or dips in cake top, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
