Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly browned.

  3. For filling: Make sure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature** In an electric mixer with whisk attachment or using a hand mixer, mix cream cheese on high until creamy. Add vanilla, flour, sugar, eggs and mix again until mixture is smooth. 

  4. Remove crust from fridge and pour filling on top. Smooth evenly with rubber spatula. Dollop blueberry mixture in various places on top of filling, use a skewer, toothpick or knife to swirl. Bake for 45 minutes, remove and let fully cool. Chill in fridge for 2-3 hours. Serve and enjoy!
