Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with foil liners and lightly grease them.
  2. In a food processor, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until resembling wet sand. Distribute into muffin liners and press down firmly. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add Greek yogurt and sugar, mixing until combined. Then add the egg, optional egg white, lime juice, and zest until blended.
  4. Spoon the cheesecake filling into each crust, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges set with a slight jiggle in the centers.
  5. Let the cheesecakes cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
