Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed.
3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a small 6-inch (15 cm) springform pan to create a crust.
4. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and the egg. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
