Prepare a 9-inch removable ring mold (springform pan) and cover the bottom and edges with butter. Put the crumbs in the bottom of the mold and press firmly against the bottom of a mold. Do not press too hard so that all the crust is the same thickness. Bake for 12 minutes and remove from the oven and let cool.

Add the eggs one by one; After adding each one, beat at low speed only until mixed. Pour the mixture into the base of the cake. Bake the cheesecake 55 min. or until the center is almost set. Pass a knife or metal spatula over the edge of the mold to peel the cake; let it cool before removing the ring from the mold. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
