Cheesecake Factory-style cheesecake

The internet ate my recipe. I’m busy using all the bad words I know right now, but I’ll re-type it up sometime this weekend. #$@&%*!

 

This is essentially this recipe, halved and cooked in the Instapot. Also, noting here that my cheesecakes always crack like a mofo. There are tips and tricks all over the internet about how to prevent that, but to be completely honest I just don’t care all that much.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°
  2. Pound chicken breasts to app. 1/4" thickness
  3. Spread cream cheese evenly on flattened chicken (you may have some leftover - that's okay! Just save it for something else. Like a bagel. Or whatever.)
  4. Roll chicken so that cream cheese is on the inside
  5. Place in baking dish
  6. Smash crackers, and add paprika and salt (I do this all in a Ziploc. You can do it in a bowl if that's your deal.)
  7. Pour cracker mixture over chicken (if you have enough, you can lift the rolls up and get some coating on the bottom, but it's okay if you don't have enough to do this)
  8. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes
  9. While chicken is baking, melt butter and stir in honey
  10. After 10 minutes, pull chicken out and pour honey butter mixture over the rolls (a lot of it will end up in the bottom of the baking dish - it's all good)
  11. Bake at 350° for another 30-40m (depending on the size of your breasts) (Your chicken breasts.)
  12. Make sure your chicken is cooked through, then dig in and enjoy!

Basic Butter Pie Crust

You can make this basic crust by hand or in a food processor. The most important tips are to work with butter straight from the fridge, use ice water, and not to overmix – make sure your butter doesn’t melt and you don’t overwork the flour. You can also add flavorings to this crust: I like to substitute rum for some of the water and add a little cinnamon for pecan pie, or add a bit of seasoning if I’m using the crust for a savory pie.

This recipe makes a single crust. For a double crust pie, double the recipe.

Instructions
  1. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, any dry flavorings, and butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. (If working by hand, cut butter into flour, being careful not to warm butter as you work)
  2. Begin adding water 1 Tbsp at a time until dough just comes together, pulsing or mixing as you go. If you are adding liquid for flavor, alternate with the ice water.
  3. Turn out onto plastic wrap and form into a disc. Chill to firm, about 15 minutes.
  4. Roll out with a heavy rolling pin and place in pie dish.
  5. Trim excess.
