Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and place four 4.5-inch springform pans on a baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Divide the mixture evenly among the four pans, pressing it firmly into the base to create the crust. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition. Do not overmix to avoid air bubbles.
At this point, divide the batter evenly among the pans if no stir-ins are desired. For variations, see instructions below.
Optional: Customize each cheesecake using one of the nine stir-in variations. Gently fold the desired stir-in ingredient(s) into the batter for each pan before pouring over the crust.
Transfer the cheesecakes to the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let the cheesecakes cool to room temperature in the pans. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to set completely.
Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecakes from the springform pans and add any desired toppings.
