Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream and mix well. Stir in lemon juice and peel. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust, sprinkle with reserved 1/4 cup of crumb mixture.
