Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300°F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Spread butter onto bottom and 1 inch up side of pan. Coat with combined crumbs and Parmesan cheese; discard any excess crumbs and cheese. Wrap foil around bottom and up side of pan.
- Beat cream cheese, sour cream and hot pepper sauce in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended. Stir in feta cheese. (Batter will not be smooth.) Pour half of the batter (about 3-1/2 cups) into large bowl; stir in pesto. Pour into prepared pan; cover with remaining plain batter. Place springform pan in larger shallow baking pan. Fill baking pan with enough hot water to come 1 inch up side of springform pan.
- Bake 45 min. or until center is set. Turn off oven; leave door ajar. Let torta stand in water bath in oven 1 hour. Remove torta from water bath. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen torta; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve as spread with assorted crackers or toasted French bread slices. Store leftover torta in refrigerator.

CHEESE, PESTO AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO TORTA
I make this for a potlucks or parties, so often I assemble a tiny one in a mini-loaf pan for the two of us. If there are any leftovers, they go great on bagels. I sometimes take small disposable containers so people can take some home with them. If you want to use pre-made pesto, 3/4-1 cup should be enough for this dish. I usually serve it with assorted crackers, but it goes well on toasted baguette slices and mini-bagels too. It takes awhile to assemble, but cooking time is simply chilling time.

PESTO TORTE
This fabulous torte can be made without the sun-dried tomatoes. The combination of cream cheese and pesto is mouth-watering. The original recipe comes from Ann Hodgman's Beat This cookbook. I reduced the amount of butter used, and I like to make it in a loaf pan rather than custard cups! You can use basil or artichoke pesto, and I often use dry packed tomatoes but reduce the quantity by half.
