1 cup reduced fat graham cracker crumbs (about 10 cookie sheets)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. butter or stick margarine, melted
Cooking spray

Topping:
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 ts.p vanilla extract
1 (8 oz.) carton low fat sour cream
1 (8 oz.) carton fat free sour cream

Filling:
1 cup 2% low fat cottage cheese
1-1/2 Tbsp. vanilla extract

3 large eggs
1 large egg white
1 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350° F.
To prepare the crust, combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of a 9 inch spring form pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes, and cool the crust on a wire rack. To prepare filling, combine cottage cheese, 1-1/2 tablespoons vanilla, salt, and cream cheeses in a food processor; process 1 minute or until smooth. Add eggs and egg white, 1 at a time, pulsing after each addition. Add 1 cup sugar; process just until blended. Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared crust, and bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until the cheesecake is almost set. Remove the cheesecake from oven, and let stand 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 450°. To prepare topping, combine 3 tablespoons sugar and the remaining ingredients. Spread evenly over cheesecake. Bake cheesecake at 450° for 5 minutes or until set. Cool completely on wire rack. Cover and chill 8 hours.
