Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day. Really ham and cheese on anything in the morning is the best! With eggs, toast or biscuits you can’t go wrong.
I have been on a cheesecake kick lately. And I thought how fun would it be to make a breakfast cheesecake. Not only would it make a fun meal for the kids to eat, but beautiful to serve at a brunch. I love hosting brunches for showers and get-togethers.
I’ll be honest I was a little worried how this would turn out and if it would have the flavor I was looking for. But it did not disappoint, it wowed! I couldn’t stop eating it. Literally, I had to take it away to the neighbors or I would have eaten the whole pan.
I can’t even describe in words how amazing this Savory Ham & Swiss Cheesecake is. Rich in flavor and gorgeous to add to any breakfast or brunch spread, this cheesecake won’t disappoint. So step up your breakfast game with this Savory Ham & Swiss Cheesecake and leave your guest going back for seconds that is if there is any left.
Enjoy! XOXO San
