Artichoke Cheesecake image

Another impressive appetizer from Houston Jr. League, Stop and Smell the Rosemary. Display on a raised cake stand for a beautiful presentation. Calls for 8 sheets phyllo dough, but for some reason I mistakenly only used 4, and it turned out just fine, just with a thinner crust! Also, although I made this according to the recipe specifications, I think next time I might use an entire 6 oz. jar of marinated artichokes, rather than just the 3 oz. - just FYI!

Time 1h20m

Yield 16-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
3 ounces marinated artichoke hearts
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 1/4 c.)
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano (no substitutions)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Brush the bottom and sides of a 9" springform pan with melted butter.
  • Place 1 sheet of phyllo in pan so that phyllo extends up and over the sides of the pan.
  • Brush with melted butter.
  • Repeart with the remaining phyllo and butter.
  • Cut 2 slits in the center of the phyllo dough for steam to escape.
  • Bake 7-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
  • Decrease oven temp to 325.
  • Drain the artichokes, reserving 2 T.
  • of the marinade.
  • Chop the artichokes and set aside.
  • Beat the cheeses, oregano and garlic powder in a large bowl.
  • Add the eggs, beating just until blended.
  • Do not overbeat.
  • Add the chopped green onions, chopped artichokes, and reserved marinade, combining well.
  • Pour into crust, and cover loosely with foil.
  • Bake 40-50 minutes, or until center is still soft but sides stay firm when gently shaken.
  • NOTE: The cheesecake did not look"done" to me at this point, but firms up in the fridge.
  • Also, if served only slightly chilled or at room temp (as suggested), it serves up creamy and spreadable.
  • Cool, then cover and chill 2-24 hrs.
  • (24 hrs. recommended) Garnish with sprigs of fresh oregano, and serve slightly chilled or at room temp.

My husband raved about this dish! I didn't have brie so I used a mixture of mozzarella and cream cheese and it was delicious. I will definitely be making it again.
