- 2 large Eggs room temp
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions

- Press crumbs into bottom of a 9" pie pan and up the sides. The bottom layer should be thicker than the sides.
- For the filling mix together the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in eggs & vanilla, mixing until smooth. Mix on a low setting to avoid beating too much air into the batter.
- Set pie pan onto a baking sheet and pour filling into the crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes then add a crust shield or aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. The filling won't look entirely set in the center and that is okay. Once cooled it will set. The internal temp should read between 165° and 170° F.
