INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: See the "Emeril's Essence Information" recipe which is included in
this collection.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 10-inch springform pan, combine the
Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and melted butter together. Blend thoroughly
and season the mixture with Emeril's Essence. Firmly press the mixture into
the bottom of the pan. In a saute pan, over medium heat, heat the olive
oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and peppers. Season the mixture
with Essence. Saute the vegetables for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and
remove from the heat and cool completely. Using a food processor, fitted
with a metal blade, add the cream cheese. Process the cheese until smooth.
With the machine running, add the eggs, one at a time. Add the cream, salt
and black pepper. Process the mixture until incorporated. Remove the
mixture from the machine and turn into a mixing bowl. Fold the vegetable
mixture, Gouda cheese, smoked salmon and parsley into the cheese mixture.
Reseason the mixture if needed. Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared
pan. Place the pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 1 hour and
15 minutes or until the cheesecake is set in the center. Remove the
cheesecake from the oven and cool completely before slicing. In a small
mixing bowl, whisk the creme fraiche and lemon juice together. Season the
mixture with salt and pepper. Fold in the chives. To serve, place a small
pool of the sauce in the center of each plate. Lay one piece of the
cheesecake in the center of the sauce. Garish each plate with the red
onions, capers, egg whites, egg yolks, caviar and parsley. This recipe
yields 16 servings.
