"Adapted from an old newspaper clipping by food writer L. Pappas, posted for safekeeping. I made it without the water bath; left cheesecake in turned off oven until oven completely cooled. A keeper! This is the source recipe for my recipe #460342 “Breakfast Cheesecake” for South Beach Diet, also posted here."
