leaving 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang under; firmly press edge onto rim.

round canape cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Moisten edge of
pastry rim with water; place rounds on edge, overlapping slightly; press
with fingertips. Reroll trimmings and cut more rounds if necessary. 4. In
large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add
eggs, one at a time, until blended, scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Beat
in milk and next 5 ingredients. 5. Preheat oven to 375 F. Sprinkle shredded
cheeses evenly over bottom of pie crust; pout egg mixture over cheeses. If
you like, arrange fresh chives on top to make a pretty design. Bake 45
minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
