Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios crushed
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or Pecorino Romano
  • 1/4 cup melted butter unsalted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
For the Filling
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms sliced (cremini or button)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened and at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Skillet
  • springform pan
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine crushed shelled pistachios, grated parmesan cheese, melted butter, salt, and pepper in a food processor and pulse until well mixed and crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until slightly golden. Allow to cool.
Sauté the Mushrooms
  1. In a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and warm it over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat to cool.
Make the Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add the sour cream and mix until combined. Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Gently fold in the cooled sautéed mushrooms and crumbled feta into the cream cheese mixture. Mix carefully with a spatula, ensuring even distribution of mushrooms.
Bake the Cheesecake
  1. Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
Cool Properly
  1. Turn off the oven and crack the door slightly, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually for 10-15 minutes. Then, cool to room temperature on a wire rack and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
