 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3      Cups          rhubarb in 1" pieces -- or chopped fine
    1      Cup           sugar
    4      Tbsp.         cornstarch
      1/2  Tsp.          Salt
    1      Pkg.          Cream cheese -- (8 oz.)
      1/2  Cup           sugar
    1        Large       egg
 
 Cook rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch and salt until thick.  Pour into unbaked
 pie shell. Bake 425F 10 minutes.
 Mix cream cheese, sugar and eggs until creamy.  Pour on top of rhubarb. 
 Filling will puff up as it bakes - if it completely fills the crust it will
 spill over.  Instead of a decorative pie shell edge I pinch it every couple
 of inches to make it stand up. 
 Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
 If you bake it until the filling is lightly browned and the center looks
 done it will be over-cooked.
