Bake about 10 minutes or until firm. Cool 10 minutes; place in freezer 5 to 10 minutes or until completely cool. Reduce oven temperature to 300 °F.
In large bowl, mix cream cheese and sugar on low speed until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, on low speed. Add yogurt and flour; mix until blended. Spoon batter into cooled crust; carefully spread over crust in pan.
Place cheesecake in oven with pan of water on oven rack below it (to prevent cracking). Bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes or until center is set.
