There is a lovely restaurant in New Hope, PA called Marsha Brown.  It’s on the main strip, and located in an old church.  Whenever I visit new hope, I make it a point to drop in and grab the Crab Cheesecake appetizer with a glass of wine.  It is absolutely incredible!  I’ve been scouring the internet trying to find a recipe for it, but haven’t found many.  This recipe looks simple – and though I haven’t tried it yet, I have a feeling it’s going to be a pretty close match.  Emiril has a recipe as well, but it’s a lot more complicated….  This recipe was originally found here.  When they server it, it’s served with a side of green onion coulis, and a remoulade sauce.  To see Emril’s recipe, click here.
