Shannon's Salsa Cheesecake

I know when you hear the words cheesecake you think dessert but this is an amazing savory appetizer that is always a hit wherever I take it. Make it the night before.

Ingredients:
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 cups sour cream - divided
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup salsa - hot works best
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies, drained
Guacamole
1 medium tomato, diced
Tortilla chips


Mix cream cheese and Monterey Jack cheese until light and fluffy.
Then add in 1 cup of sour cream mix until combined
Then add in eggs on low
add in salsa and chilies

Pour into a greased 9 in springform pan. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 40-45 mins until center is almost set.  Remove from oven and immediately top with remaining cup of sour cream. Cool of wire rack for about 1 hour then refrigerate overnight

Remove springform ring add guacamole and add diced tomatoes.

Slice and serve with tortilla chips.
Enjoy!
