    Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a 10" springform pan, combine the
    Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and melted butter together. Blend
    thoroughly and season the mixture with Essence. Firmly press the
    mixture into the bottom of the pan.

    In a sauté pan, over medium heat, heat the olive oil. When the olive
    is hot, add the onions and peppers. Season the mixture with Essence.
    Sauté the vegetables for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and remove
    from the heat and cool completely. Using a food processor, fitted
    with a metal blade, add the cream cheese. Process the cheese until
    smooth. With the machine running, add the eggs, one at a time.

    Add the cream, salt and black pepper. Process the mixture until
    incorporated. Remove the mixture from the machine and turning into a
    mixing bowl. Fold the vegetable mixture, Gouda cheese, smoked salmon
    (flaked), and parsley into the cheese mixture. Re-season the mixture
    if needed. Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Place the
    pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes
    or until the cheesecake is set in the center. Remove the cheesecake
    from the oven and cool completely before slicing.

    In a small mixing bowl, whisk the creme fraiche and lemon juice
    together. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Fold in the
    chives. To assemble, place a small pool of the sauce in the center of
    each plate. Lay one piece of the cheesecake in the center of the
    sauce. Garish each plate with the red onions, capers, egg whites, egg
    yolks, caviar, and parsley.
