Preparation, start to finish, 1 hour and 15 minutes (35 minutes active). Serves 8
Ingredients
6 slices turkey bacon
1 cup chopped sweet onion (about 1 medium)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
cup evaporated skim milk
cup low-fat milk
2 teaspoons cornstarch
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
teaspoon salt
teaspoon ground nutmeg
cup grated Gruyere cheese
1 frozen deep-dish 9-inch pie shell
Directions
Place oven rack in lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In the microwave or on the stovetop, cook the turkey bacon until crisp, according to package instructions. Crumble and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in crumbled bacon and set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites. Add evaporated milk, low-fat milk, cornstarch, pepper, salt and nutmeg. Whisk to combine.
Mix cheese into cooled onion-bacon mixture, then spoon the mixture into the pie shell in an even layer. Pour the egg mixture evenly on top.
Bake the quiche for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown on top and set in the center. Transfer to a rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
