5 eggs

6 8-ounce packages cream cheese,

1 teaspoon vanilla

room temperature

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Generously butter bottom and sides of 912 inch springform pan. Sprinkle crumbs evenly over bottom of pan. In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and continue to beat until smooth. Add eggs beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and lemon juice. Pour into prepared springform pan. Cover springform pan with aluminum foil.
