4 steps

01
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease a cake pan with the unsalted butter.
02
Beat the farmer's cheese until smooth, then mix in the eggs, white sugar, vanilla extract, lemon peel, corn starch, and salt until the batter is evenly combined.
03
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
04
Bake until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden. Let the cheesecake cool completely before slicing so the texture firms up properly.
