Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a lined muffin tin to form the crust.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set. Remove from the oven and let cool.
