- 2 whole Large Hatch Green Chilies
- 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
- 4 ounces, weight Whole-milk Ricotta Cheese, Softened
- 2 ounces, weight Goat Cheese, Softened
- 1 whole Egg
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- Preheat the broiler in your oven.
- Place the Hatch chilies on a small rimmed baking sheet.
- Broil for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the chilies occasionally, until charred on all sides.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a zip top bag.
- Seal the bag and let it rest for about 20 minutes, until cool enough to handle.

- Stir in the diced chiles.
- Pour the mixture into a 4 1/2-inch spring form pan.
- Place the pan in a larger baking pan.
- Add enough hot water to the larger baking pan to come halfway up the sides of the spring form pan.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until the cheesecake is set around the edges and jiggles only slightly when gently shaken.
- Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, until cold.
- Serve with crackers for dipping.
