ingredients
-
Crust
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1⁄4 cup fine dry breadcrumb (plain)
-
Filling
- 12 ounces cream cheese
- 4 ounces Roquefort cheese (since I do not care for Roquefort, I substitute additional Parmesan or shredded cheddar cheese)

- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
-
Topping
- 1⁄4 cup fine dry breadcrumb (plain)

directions
- Brush bottom and side of a 9-inch springform pan with butter. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup breadcrumbs.
- Beat cream cheese and Roquefort cheese in a large mixing bowl and high speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add Parmesan cheese, sour cream, salsa, and flour. Beat until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until yellow disappears.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and parsley.
- Bake at 300°F for 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until almost set. Turn oven off. Partially open oven door and let cool in oven for one hour. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack.
- Carefully remove sides of springform pan. Serve at room temperature or cover and chill thoroughly.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
