Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand.
Step 2
Press crumb mixture into a 10-inch cast iron skillet or round baking dish, covering the bottom evenly.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk quark, eggs, sugar, and lemon zest until smooth and no lumps remain, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour quark mixture over the crust, spreading evenly to the edges.
Step 5
Bake for 12–14 minutes until the top is pale golden and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
Step 6
Cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
