Directions:Mix pastry ingredients and chill one hour. Preheat
oven to 400 degrees. Place 1/3 of dough in the bottom
part of springform pan. Press by hand and fingers to
cover the bottom. Do NOT grease pan. Bake until

beating after each addition. Then add egg yolks. Add
remaining ingredients.

overlapping onto the bottom of baked crust. Bake 12
minutes at 500 degrees. Reduce heat to 200 degrees.
Pour cheese filling over crust and bake at 200 for one
hour without opening door. Watch closely.
When ready to serve, you can top with any kind of fresh
fruit or serve plain. |
