Here's a recipe I've been using for many years. The basic rule of thumb is one (large or extra-large) egg for every 8 oz brick of cream cheese used. You're on your own with the crust.

3 8 oz bricks of cream cheese

3 eggs (large or extra-large)

1 1/3 c sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp grated citrus peel (optional; orange or lemon is good)

Beat the cream cheese in a food processor or with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the eggs one by one, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add the sugar gradually, beating thoroughly after each 1/3 c added. Add the vanilla and citrus peel, if using. Pour into the prepared crust (or no crust at all, just a well-greased flat-bottomed pie or quiche pan) and bake at 425° for 15 minutes to set it, then 325° for another 45 minutes or so. The top might crack, but that is ok.

Would cornstarch be positive or negative in a iodine reagent?

Cornstarch would yield a positive result with iodine reagent, producing a deep blue or purple color. This reaction occurs because the iodine interacts with the helical structure of amylose, a component of starch. In contrast, simple sugars and other carbohydrates do not produce this color change. Thus, the presence of cornstarch can be confirmed using iodine.
