Ingredients:

Crust:

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, roughly 6 full sheets store bought graham crackers
• 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Cheesecake:

• 12oz cream cheese, room temperature

• ½ cup eggnog
• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease the cavities of a 12 cup muffin or cheesecake pan.
    
2. In a food processor or large bowl, combine crust ingredients. Divide evenly between prepared cheesecake cavities. Firmly press down to create and even crust. Bake for 5 minutes.
