This looks so good.
Do you cover this with tin foil before you cook it?

Hi Laurie,
You do not need to cover with foil. However if you use a springform pan I do recommend using foil on the bottom so no liquid leaks in or out.
Renna
I have a 3 qt. Lux mini. What cook time would you think for a smaller one? I was thinking of keeping the recipe the same just making more than one and freeze the second one.
Thank you, this looks very good.

Hi Renna! I have not tested this recipe in a 3qt. However typically cook times remain the same. So I would keep the time the same. There would not be a worry of over cooking this recipe so you should be just fine! And it's a great idea to freeze one for later! Oh it's good!
