This was my first time making homemade brownies and I had to as was out of mixes. I was making cheesecake topped brownies from this site. This was very easy and I ended up making a double batch as 1 batch did not fill the bottom of my extra large pan. I wanted a thin brownie with the cheesecake. It did come out thicker, but very moist and delicious. It really complimented the cheesecake over which I poured a chocolate ganache. Everyone raved about it, saying the brownies would be great on their own, they were just that good. I will be making them by themselves in the future. They were pretty sweet and chocolaty so I may just sift some powdered sugar over them w/o any other topping.

This was amazing! I didn't have a brownie mix on hand so had to make homemade brownies. spread the mix thin in a larger pan and put the cheese cake mixture over. To keep it from seperating, I swirled some of the 2 together in the middle, just a little and had no troule. To top it, I made a sweet ganach with 9 ozs semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup heavy cream heated to just boiling then poured over chips and stirred until fully incorperated. I waited for it to cool, but still be pourable before pouring over thee brownies. I refrigerated it for a day then cut in squares to put on a serving platter. They were a pretty big hit at our family Christmas party. Very yummy.

I bought sage instead of basil by accident, so used that, I also used butter instead of olive oil. I brined my 20 lber in the citrus brine on ar, then used oj instead of water. This was an amazing combination. I cooked this breast side down as well. Very moist and tender and full of flavor. Will deinitely make again. Oh yes, had to omit garlic & Italian seasonings due to family allergies and was still good.
