1In a bowl, combine the oyster cracker crumbs, Parmesan cheese and butter; set aside 1/4 cup for the topping. Press the remaining crumb mixture onto the bottom and inches up the sides of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat the SPAM® Classic until lightly browned; set aside.
3In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low until just combined. Add the SPAM® Classic, pineapple, cheese, chives, basil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Beat until just combined. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture.
4Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 325°F for 70-90 minutes or until the filling is almost set. Turn oven off. Leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar for 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen. Cool the cheesecake for 1 additional hour. Remove cheesecake from the pan. Refrigerate overnight, if serving chilled. Also great served warm or at room temperature. Serve with assorted crackers. Makes 24-36 servings.
A collector has a large collection- wow. "Bunker" or storm shelter? details would be nice.
Can't argue with the provision to remove firearms in connection with a restraining order. It is reasonable.
