Ingredients

CRUST:

3 cups oyster crackers, crushed

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup butter, melted

FILLING:

32 ounces cream cheese, softened

4 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups fully cooked ham, finely chopped

2 cups Swiss cheese, grated

1/3 cup snipped chives

1/4 cup basil, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Assorted crackers

Directions

Combine cracker crumbs, Parmesan and butter in a large bowl.

Set aside 1/4 cup of mixture for topping.

Press remaining crumbs onto bottom and 2" up sides of greased 9" springform pan.

Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth

Add eggs; beat on low just until combined (mixture will be thick).

Add the ham, Swiss cheese, chives, basil, salt and pepper.

Beat until just combined.

Pour into crust.

Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.

Place pan on baking sheet.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes OR until filling is almost set.

Remove cheesecake from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.

Carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen.
