  2. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Notes

For a crack-free cheesecake, avoid overbeating the eggs. Allow plenty of chilling time for better flavor and texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
