Note

Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.

Do not overbake; the center should still have a slight jiggle when removed from the oven.

For easier cleanup, line the pan with parchment paper before adding the crust.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
