Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Make the Crust:
In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in lemon juice and lemon zest.
Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set. Allow to cool completely.
Make the Lemon Curd:
In a medium saucepan, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and smooth. Allow to cool.
Assemble the Bars:
