Herbed Cheesecake Vegetable & Cracker Dip

This is a fantastic twist on cheesecake!  Its savory with lots of herbs, cheese and pepperoni and is served with fresh vegetables and crackers!

I found the recipe originally from Taste of Home.  I have changed the recipe; because I don't think this recipe needs the crust.  Nobody wants to eat crust with a cracker.  

I have made this with both fresh and dried herbs; and I have found that it really is best with lots of fresh herbs and you can use any combination of fresh herbs you have!  Enjoy!
