Instructions

Crust

  1. Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and then pour into a springform pan. Press down so the crust is firm and push up the sides of the pan as well. Bake crust for 5 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in a skillet, melt the butter and cook the andouille and onions for 3 - 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Allow to cool.

    In a blender, mix the cream cheese and smoked cheddar cheese until combined. Move to a bowl and add the eggs mixing them well. Add the remaining ingredients and the andouille onion mixture. Mix well.

    Pour the filling mixture into the springform pan and bake for 45 - 60 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.

    Serve and enjoy!
