- Add eggs, one at a tíme. Do not over míx. Pour míxture over base ín tín.
- Bake 1 hour and 10 mínutes. Watch carefully though to make sure that ít doesn’t splít open. Checkíng ít every 30 or so mínutes would be a good ídea.
- Turn oven off and take out the cheesecake, settíng ít down on a cool work surface. Run knífe along the edge to loosen the cheesecake for better coolíng. Let ít cool for at least 15 mínutes so that ít can set and fírm up.
