Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the Parmesan cheese, bread
crumbs and butter until thoroughly incorporated, and press the mixture into
the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. In a saute pan, heat the olive oil.
Add the onions and peppers. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes then remove from heat.
In an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and eggs together until thick
and frothy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the cream, cheddar cheese, sauteed
vegetables and crawfish. Mix until thoroughly incorporated and creamy,
about 2 minutes. Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan and
bake until firm--about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to
room temperature.
For the sauce: In a sauce pot, combine all the ingredients together. Bring
the mixture up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for about 5 to 6
minutes. With a hand -held blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Season
with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce on the bottom of the plate and dirty
the rim. Place a wedge of the cheesecake in the center of the sauce.
Garnish with the fried crawfish tails, white cheddar cheese, parsley and
red onions.
