1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 12 graham crackers)

½ cup butter, melted (one stick)
Eggnog Cheescake Filing:
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
⅔ cup eggnog

2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and melted butter; press into pan and bake for 10 minutes.
3. Beat room temperature cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and flour on medium-low speed until smooth.
4. Stir in 2/3 cup eggnog and 1/4 tsp nutmeg on low speed until combined.
5. Beat in 2 eggs one at a time on low speed, then pour batter over crust.
