Ingredients

• 1.5 cups (crushed) Ritz crackers
• 4 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
• 16 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 5

Add the sour cream and beat until combined and creamy.

Step 6

Blend in the shredded Swiss cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

One at a time, add the eggs to the mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Fold in the chopped parsley and chives for a fresh, herbaceous touch.

Step 9

Pour the cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to fully set.

Step 12

Before serving, release the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish with additional parsley or chives, if desired.

Step 13

Slice into portions and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy this savory treat!
