Who says cheesecake has to be sweet? Try this weeknight supper reminiscent of a Louisana Earl Peyroux classic, from his PBS series (I lost the original recipe, this is how I make it now). It's a real taste treat and only needs a salad to complete the meal.
Crust: Mix Bisquick and 1 egg. Spread into pie plate sprayed with Pam and up the sides 1/2 inch. Use extra Bisquick on your fingertips to make it spread easily
Filling: Mix cream cheese and 1 egg until smooth. Add minced onion, cayenne pepper, celery flakes and garlic powder. Fold in drained shrimp and bell pepper. Make sure to remove as much moisture from the bell pepper and shrimp as possible, as cheesecake is "water" sensitive (hence all the dried ingredients). Pour into crust.
Bake at 350 F for 50-60 minutes. Cool 15-20 minutes before cutting.
Serve with a salad and a glass of wine, if desired.
A refrigerated pie crust is interchangeable with the Bisquick option, whatever you have handy. No top crust needed!
Mix this one up and throw it in the oven....Make the salad and visit with your family or guests while it is cooking....you'll look like a real gourmet when this savory cheesecake is served!
