- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly.

- Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated.
- Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off oven and crack the door; let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
- Remove from oven, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
