From landolakes.com, I have not tried this yet but certainly intend to do so very shortly. This cake needs to chill for at least 2 hours prior to serving. Serve with sesame or rye crackers.
Ingredients
- CRUST: shopping list
- 1 1/3 cups sesame cracker crumbs shopping list
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded shopping list
- 1/3 cup butter, melted shopping list
- FILLING: shopping list
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 8 ounces feta cheese with basil and tomato shopping list
- 3 large eggs shopping list
- 1/2 cup pitted ripe olives, drained and chopped shopping list
- 1/3 cup green onions, chopped shopping list
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt shopping list
- TOPPING: shopping list
- 2 medium roma tomatoes, finely chopped shopping list
- 1/3 cup green onions, chopped shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Combine crust ingredients and press on bottom and up sides of an UNgreased 9" springform pan OR a 9" foil-lined round pan with 1" foil overhang to aid in cake removal.
- Combine cream cheese and feta in a large bowl.
- Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.
- Add eggs, beating until just combined.
- Stir in all remaining filling ingredients.
- Pour into crust.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes OR until just set at 3" distance from pan edge.
- Remove from oven.
- Cool for 15 minutes.
- Loosen sides of springform.
- Cool on wire rack for 2 hours.
- Loosely cover.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- To serve, cut into wedges.
- Top each wedge with tomato and green onion.
- Serve with cracker, if desired.
- Refrigerate leftovers.
- **Check cheesecakes at minimum bake time for doneness by gently shaking (I tap side with knife) the pan. If the center still jiggles and the edges appear firm, the cheesecake is done. Cheesecakes continue to set as they cool.
