Ingredients

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 3/4 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated smoked Gouda
  • 1 pound (about 2 cups) cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 cups creme fraiche
  • 2 hard boiled eggs, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup small diced red onions
  • 7 ounces osetra caviar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs, and butter, blend thoroughly. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, and the peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes, remove from the heat.

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. With the machine running, add the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Beat in the cream, Gouda, and Sauteed vegetables until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Fold in the lobster meat and the parsley. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake until firm, about 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. If you refrigerate the cake before serving, allow to come to room temperature before serving.

To serve, cut the cake into wedges with a warm knife. Serve each wedge with the creme fraiche, traditional garnishes, and caviar.

    Have served this serveral times and just last week decided to tweek a good thing and try to make it better for a Girl's... Caviar Night. I doubled the recipe for the crust only as stated but made two 9"tart pans with removable bottoms and split the filling between the two and baked for 45 minutes. WOW,GREAT and give me the recipe was the response. It won the vote even over the Salmon and Caviar pie.Read more

    This is a very easy recipe to follow. If the lobster is to $$, try with shrimp - we thought it was also great! This baked... nicely in a 8.5" springform pan vs a 9" with an increase in cooking time to 75 minutes. Company raved about it!!Read more

    So admittedly, I added extra lobster, but this was fabulous!!! It was a hit at the party I took it to, and just as yummy the... next day. One suggestion - when I make this again I will use a water bath to cook the cheesecake, because I had some issues with it cooking all the way through...Read more
