Soften cream cheese and combine it with eggs, sugar, lemon juice, rind grated finely and vanilla.
Line bottom of buttered pan with waxed paper.
Cover bottom of pan with graham cracker crumbs and pecans(optional). Pour cream cheese mixture on top and bake in 1" of water at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. *
Remove from oven and cool, then place in refrigerator overnight before removing from pan and serving. Run a knife around edge to separate from sides of pan. Top with your favorite fruit or pie filling. When cutting, clean knife after every cut.
