Lobster Cheesecake

I have been doing savory cheesecakes for quite a while. They are to be used as a molded spread for crackers or toast points. I have used molds, springform pan, or just chilled directly in the serving bowls. If you use the springform pan, sprinkle a bit of breadcrumb on the bottom of the pan. This will make it much easier to remove from the pan.
