Anything with shrimp!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was one of the first recipes I ever saw a few years ago, watching the food network for the first time. It does make a... lot, but you can use a small springform pan and make 1/2 recipe. I serve it cold as an appetizer. Everyone always loves it! It is different from the routine appy's; the mustard sauce makes it even better. I am going to try it hot some time, because that sounds good, too. Never even thought of that!!! Yum!!Read more

Tastes much better than it sounds!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish is best when served warm. Just out of the oven it was great as well as reheated the following 2 or 3 days! I didn't... use the mustard sauce and it was great on its own. Only concern would be that it tastes much more like a quiche than a cheesecake. Neufchatel was also a lower fat and still delicious substituition.Read more

Huh?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I don't understand. Is it served hot or is it served cold or is it served at room temp, or what? Is it a meal or is it an... appetizer?Read more

All around a yummy dish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved everything about this dish! It's very savory, and the mustard sauce adds a wonderful tang to the savory meal. It... makes enough for a family of 4 to have left overs, and I think it tastes even better the next day!Read more
