I first made this for an open house 3 years ago and everybody liked it. It's very easy to make and tastes delicious. Cheesecake is popular in these parts - it's fun to have it for an appetizer instead of dessert for a change. Ingredients:
pastry for a single-crust pie |
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
4 eggland's best eggs, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup milk |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded swiss cheese |
1/2 cup sliced green onions |
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Roll the pastry into a 13-1/2 in. circle. Fit into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. springform pan. Lightly prick the bottom. Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add eggs and milk; beat until smooth. Add cheese, onions, bacon, salt, pepper and cayenne; mix well. Pour into the crust.
3. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes. Remove sides of pan. Cut into thin slices; serve warm. Yield: 16-20 appetizer servings.
