Jalapeno Popper Chorizo Cheesecake

Dad loves cheesecake so why not surprise him with a savoury take on cheesecake for dinner this Father’s Day? Jalapeno poppers are one of my favourite foods and they consist of jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese and cheddar cheese that are coated in breadcrumbs and fried until crispy! Since the poppers are already filled with cream cheese and cheesecakes primary ingredient is cream cheese it only seemed natural to combine the two to make a jalapeno popper cheesecake! But would a savoury cheesecake work? A cheesecake classically has a simple crumb crust and for this one I went with crumbled cheese crackers to start things off nice and cheesy! Next up was the cheesecake batter which is pretty normal with cream cheese, eggs and sour cream along with the cheddar cheese and jalapenos! I wanted this cheesecake to be a nice and satisfying meal so I decided to add some chorizo sausage to the mix! Once the crust and batter are ready you simply bake it like a normal cheesecake and then enjoy it warm from the oven or chilled from the fridge! If your dad loves cheesecakes and poppers then he’ll love this jalapeno popper chorizo cheesecake!

Top with a fried egg with runny yolk!
