Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Crust:
Mix crust ingredients by hand with a fork or in a food processor
Generously butter a 9 inch spring form pan. (If making half a recipe, use a 7-inch pan)
Add crumbs and shake around to cover the bottom and sides. Gently shake out the excess and save for use in meatloaf.
Filling:
Beat all the ingredients together, except chives. Pour into prepared pan, sprinkle with chives and bake for 45 minutes (35 to 40 minutes if baking a half recipe) until browned and fairly set. (It will giggle a little but will set when cooled).
Serve at room temperature with crackers or slice and put on a bed of greens. Store any leftovers in a refrigerator. |

Notes: This recipe came from a friend (Rebecca) in Green Valley; it is absolutely delicious!!. It isn't a "light" appetizer but would be perfect to take to a party with just Hors de Oeuvres.
