Recipe Introduction


I found this recipe on an internet site for Italian recipes. This one is time consuming, but worth the effort. Hope you enjoy this one.


List of Ingredients




1 (4 oz) Box Bremner Caraway Wafers, crushed
2 Tbsp. melted butter
2 eggs plus 2 egg yolks
8 oz Gorgonzola or other bleu cheese, crumbled
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
4 oz. crumbled crisp bacon, optional (about 4 slices)
1/2 tsp. salt (less if using bacon)
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Recipe



Preheat over to 375ºF. (400ºF at high altitude).
Brush a pie plate or a spring-form cake pan with the melted butter.
Sprinkle in half the crushed crackers and shake to distribute on the sides and bottom of pan. There will be a loose layer of cracker crumbs on the bottom.
In a medium mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
Add the crumbled cheese, cream, and milk and stir lightly to incorporate.
Stir in the green onion and bacon.
Pour mixture over cracker crust and top with remaining crushed crackers.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until sides are set but center still moves slightly when shaken.
Cool on a wire rack and serve warm or at room temperature.
