Ingredients:




-----------------------------------CRUST-----------------------------------


     2 c  Rolled oats (do not


          -use instant oatmeal


          -or steel-cut oats)


   2/3 c  Brown sugar


   1/2 c  Butter, unsalted


          -(at room temperature)





----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------


    11 oz Cream cheese


          -(at room temperature)


     3    Eggs


   3/4 c  Cottage cheese,


          -small-curd


     1 ts Vanilla extract





 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Mix crust ingredients with your hands until


 well blended.  Put the mixture in a 9-inch springform pan and form a crust,


 pushing it about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust about


 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. and let it cool.


 


 Beat (or mix) the filling ingredients, at very high speed, for seven


 minutes. The mixture must be very smooth. Put the filling in the baked


 crust.  You may want to re-form the crust slightly first.


 


 Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees F.  The cheesecake is done when the


 filling is firm, but not dark (burned) on top. Let it cool, then chill it.


 


 NOTES:


 


 *  A moist cheesecake with a wonderful crust -- A college friend gave me


 this recipe, oh so many moons ago. It comes from his parents, and may have


 roots in Belgium. It is very different from the typical New-York-style dry


 cheesecake.  Yield:  Serves 6-8.
