B & G's Company CheesecakeI HAD 3 egg customers... until my flock was decimated in December by a neighbors dog.
So I was down to 11 and told my egg customers I couldn't sell eggs for a while.
Well now I am getting between 6-8 eggs a day and I have about 2dz chicks in various ages.
So I told my egg customers I was back to full output, but demand has been slow.
So other than quiche... what do you guys like to maje that takes A LOT of eggs?
And as an aside... why does the the whites in my quiche turn dark grey/green on day 2?
TIA
16 Graham Crackers (1 pk. if there are 3 pks. in a box)
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 1/2 Stick Margarine
3 (8 oz.) pks. Cream Cheese (at room temp.)
3/4 Cups Sugar
3 Large Eggs plus 1 Egg Yolk
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Crust:
In a food processor, process graham crackers and 3 Tablespoons sugar. Remove and mix in
1 1/2 sticks melted margarine. Form crust in the bottom only of a spring form pan. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. While the crust is chilling, prepare the filling.
Filling:
With electric mixer, beat cream cheese at med. speed until smooth. Add 3/4 cup sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time plus yolk, mixing well between each one. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, mixing well.
Pour filling into chilled crust. Place cheesecake on a sheet pan. Place top oven rack into middle position of oven and place sheet pan in the middle of the rack. On bottom rack, place a pan of VERY hot water directly below cheesecake (this adds moisture to the oven and makes the cheesecake smooth.) Bake for 1 hour at 300 degrees. (BE CAREFUL NOT TO SLAM DOORS OR WALK TOO HEAVILY, AS CHEESECAKE WILL FALL!) After 1 hour, turn oven off and crack oven door. Let stand for 1 hour without touching. Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Be sure to chill no matter what type of toppings that you use so that the cake will set! (See toppings!)
Cut into 8 wedges and enjoy!
Toppings: (Melt chocolates in the microwave and check every 15 to 30 seconds, stirring at each check)
Cherry Chocolate Delight
Cover cheesecake with cherry pie filling and then drizzle melted chocolate and then white melted chocolate over top of cherries. Cut cake while the chocolates are still warm! Then refrigerate if you want the chocolates to reharden.
Snickers Cheesecake
Cut a 10 pk. (small bars) of Snickers candies thinly and lay on top of chilled cheesecake. Pour on 1/2 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, spreading evenly. Reheat on a sheet pan at 300 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and spread the topping evenly with a rubber spatula. Cut into wedges while the chocolate is still warm, or it will be next to impossible to cut after it is chilled again! Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens and serve.
Mounds Cheesecake
Cut a 10 pk. (small bars) of Mounds candies thinly and lay on top of chilled cheesecake. Pour on 1/2 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, spreading evenly. Reheat on a sheet pan at 300 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and spread the topping evenly with a rubber spatula. While warm, sprinkle top with shredded coconut. Cut into wedges while the chocolate is still warm, or it will be next to impossible to cut after it is chilled again! Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens and serve.
We serve this cheesecake with the various toppings for $3.00 a slice!
