1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a mixing bowl beat the eggs for 3 minutes; add 1 cup of sugar and beat for 2 more minutes until thick. Add cream cheese slowly, then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and continue to beat for approximately 10 minutes. Pour into baked crust. Bake in a 325-degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until firmly set.
