  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square pan. To make the crust: In a bowl, mix together the first 3 ingredients; then stir in butter until well combined. Reserve 1/3 cup of the crumbs; then pat remaining crumbs gently in the bottom of the pan. Then bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer at a medium speed, beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Beat in remaining ingredients; then pour over baked crust. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over top. Bake for 25 more minutes, or until set. Cut when cool.
