Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- ½ pound boiled shrimp
- ⅓ pound chopped lump crab
- ⅓ pound crawfish tails
Dairy and Cheese
- 4 8-ounce blocks cream cheese, softened
- ½ log goat cheese, room temperature
- Butter for greasing pan
Additional Ingredients
- 1 pack butter splitter crumbles
- 3 large eggs
- 5 green onions, thinly sliced
- Cajun seasoning
- Old Bay seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly coating with butter. Carefully crush butter spliters and firmly press them into the pan’s base using a utensil to create an even, compact foundation.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend softened cream cheese, goat cheese, and eggs until achieving a silky-smooth consistency. Gently fold in succulent shrimp, delicate crab pieces, tender crawfish tails, and finely chopped green onions, ensuring ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Delicately incorporate Cajun and Old Bay seasonings, being mindful of their inherent saltiness. Taste the mixture incrementally, adjusting seasoning to complement the seafood’s natural flavors without overwhelming.
- Transfer the maritime-inspired filling into the prepared spliters crust, spreading it evenly. Meticulously wrap the springform pan’s exterior with aluminum foil and position it within a larger baking dish. Carefully pour water into the dish’s base to generate a humid cooking environment.
- Slide the preparation into the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, monitoring until the top achieves a golden-brown hue and the center sets with a gentle wobble.
- After removing from the oven, allow the cheesecake to rest in the pan for approximately 10 minutes, facilitating gradual cooling. Delicately transfer to a serving platter, accompanying with additional spliters or crisp crostini for an elegant presentation.
