Sweet Pepper and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Cheesecake

I found a cheesecake recipe made with Tvorog (aka Farmer's Cheese), yogurt, eggs, starch, and apple puree. It has no sugar, a pleasant texture, and is easy to make—I loved it! Out of curiosity, I tried replacing apple puree with vegetable puree. The result is an incredible savory breakfast, healthy snack, or intriguing appetizer! Think about it as a formula for a cheesecake. Make it with apple, pear, or peach puree, and enjoy it as dessert. Make it with vegetable purees like sweet or chili peppers, tomatoes, pumpkin, herbs, caramelized onions, leeks, and garlic, and enjoy it as a savory dish. It can be without crust or with it. Next time I make a savory cheesecake, I'll add cubed bacon, ham, or smoked turkey breast for more fun! This recipe is for 6"D ramekin to make 2" high cheesecake.
