This is the exact base for the southwest cheesecake I make - minus the red peppers. They are a great addition. I also like the toppings you have included. I usually garnish mine with salsa and black olives but your combination of guacamole, tomatoes, olives and cheese is 'da bomb! I think I'll use your recipe from now on. Thanks southern chef in louisiana!
