Appetizer Cheesecake 2/3 C finely crushed tortilla chips, any flavor 2 T margarine, melted 1 C cottage cheese (3) 8 oz. packages of cream cheese 4 eggs 10 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese (1) 8 oz. container of sour cream (1) 4 oz. can chopped green chiles, ortega or jalapeno 1 tsp Knorr Suiza or chicken consomme (base) 1 C chopped tomatoes 1/2 C green onions, finely chopped 1/2 C sliced pitted ripe olives 1 - 2 avocadoes, sliced, put a few drops of lemon on them to prevent browning. Combine the tortilla chips and margarine and press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9" spring pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Place the cottage cheese in a blender, food processor or mixer and beat until smooth. Combine the cottage cheese and cream cheese, mixing a medium speed until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time and mix between additions. Blend in the cheddar cheese and chiles. Pour the mixture over the baked crust. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 1 hour @325F. Combine the sour cream or option and Knorr or chicken consomme and mix thoroughly. Spread the mixture over the hot cheesecake; return to the oven and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Loosen the cake from the rim of the pan; cool completely before removing the rim. Refrigerate the cheesecake until ready to serve. Top with the tomatoes, chives, olives and avocadoes. I put the olives in the middle and arrange the avocado slices, tomatoes and chives in a pinwheel fashion, but be creative and do whatever suits your fancy. ------------------------ Yahoo!
