1 1/2 hours before serving: 1. In a medium bowl, stir flour and salt;
cut in shortening to resemble coarse crumbs. Stir in 6 to 7
tablespoons ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until pastry just
holds together. 2. Roll three-fourths of pastry into a rectangle 3

with pastry; trim pastry edge, leaving 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang
under; firmly press edge onto rim. 3. Roll trimmings and remaining
pastry 1/8-ich thick. With floured 1/2 inch round canape cutter, cut
out as many rounds as possible. Moisten edge of pastry rim with
water; place rounds on edge, overlapping slightly; press with
fingertips. Reroll trimmings and cut more rounds if necessary. 4. In
large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add eggs, one at a time, until blended, scraping bowl with rubber
spatula. Beat in milk and next 5 ingredients. 5. Preheat oven to 375
F. Sprinkle shredded cheeses evenly over bottom of pie crust; pout
egg mixture over cheeses. If you like, arrange fresh chives on top to
make a pretty design. Bake 45 minutes or until knife inserted in
center comes out clean.
