Recipe information

The ultimate savory cheesecake of shrimp, Louisiana alligator tail meat and smoked pork sausage from Poche’s in Louisiana with a blend of cream cheese and warm gouda cheese. Served with pita bread. Warning, very addictive!

Preparation Directions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and gouda cheese until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the cream, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Add Meats

Gently fold in the chopped shrimp, alligator tail meat, and crumbled smoked pork sausage into the cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

4. Bake the Cheesecake

Grease a 9-inch springform pan and pour the cheesecake mixture into it. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

5. Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature with pita bread.
