What nice is I was able to prep it in the morning, bake, cool, and then let it sit in the fridge until party time. We served it with the pita chips stated in the recipe, and rice chips, which we all actually liked better. Overall, this is a very simple recipe and well worth getting the right size pan for. <strong>A few tips:</strong> 1. Make sure that you really dry off the jarred red peppers, so that your cheesecake doesn't turn pink,  I found I was able to chop them into pretty small pieces without it effecting the color. 2. I learned in a baking class years ago to make sure that you have a smooth top on any cake is to spin the pan or lightly tap the pan on the counter.

This one is a winner. It's a creamy, savory treat that's perfect as an appetizer or even lunch. I love the combination of cream, ricotta, and goat cheeses. The roasted red peppers give it a mild sweetness. I think it does need a crust though, for a contrast in texture. Crushed bagel chips or seasoned breadcrumbs would be a nice touch. All in all, I loved it. [Terri Rimmer] I tend to enjoy savory cheesecakes more than sweet cheesecakes. This one is a winner. It’s a creamy, savory treat that’s perfect as an appetizer or even lunch.

I actually made it twice, once for a party and once for my coworkers, and it got raves both times. It's very easy, and I think it's worthwhile to get the pan that it called for because it really adds to the presentation. Easy and delicious. [Jennifer Piercy] I had great success with this recipe!

The texture was luscious and the red flecks make the dish beautiful to look at. I love the sweet and savoury flavours together. The pita crisps are a great idea, as the cheesecake alone would be rich. [Brenda Carleton] A delicious treat well worth making.

The apricot jam topping adds just the perfect amount of sweetness. The homemade pita chips are the ideal accompaniment. It's so good you might have to make two cheesecakes or double the recipe as my dinner party of four ate the whole thing in a manner of minutes.

My guests loved it, although I would have preferred it a little tangier and will up the goat-cheese ratio next time. Also, I thought the ricotta made it just the slightest bit weepy, so I'll choose a drier brand or let it drain a little before using. [Cindi Kruth] This was a big hit served as a mid-day snack.
