    List of Ingredients




    8 sheets thawed frozen phyllo dough, about 13-by-14 inches each
    1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
    2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 eggs
    2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
    1/2 strawberry jelly
    1 cup whipped heavy cream or non-dairy whipped topping (optional)

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 425 degrees. For crust: Grease 9-inch pie plate and set aside.

    Place 1 sheet phyllo on flat surface (keep remaining phyllo covered to prevent drying out). Brush with butter. Top with another phyllo sheet and brush with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo and butter to make 8 layers.

    Using kitchen scissors, cut layers into circle of 12-13 inches. Carefully press circle into prepared pie plate and gently fan edges.

    Bake in preheated oven until edges are just golden, about 6-8 minutes. Cool slightly on wire rack.

    Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. In medium bowl with electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until combined well.

    Fold in 1 cup of blueberries. Pour into prepared crust. Bake until set, about 40-50 minutes.

    To prevent crust overly browning, gently cover with foil for last 25 minutes of baking. Cool completely on rack.

    To serve: In small bowl, beat jelly until smooth. Spread over cheese filling. Arrange remaining blueberries on top in star shape. Garnish with whipping cream.
