Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Make your graham cracker crust by stirring together crushed graham crackers with sugar and melted butter. Divide crush amongst cupcake liners and press into the bottom.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract, egg, egg yolks, sour cream, and salt. Continue beating until combined and smooth.
  4. Spoon cheesecake batter into each cupcake liner until 3/4 full.
