Quiche Lorraine

Ingredients:

7 slices crisp bacon, diced
1/4 cup minced white or yellow onions
1 teaspoon chopped chives
1 cup diced Gruyère cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups cream
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Preparation:

Sauté bacon until crisp. Drain and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings and sauté onions until tender. Sprinkle bacon, onions, chives, and cheeses evenly over bottom of non-stick pie pan (or spray with PAM.) Combine eggs, cream, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and pepper and
strain over all.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake quiche in lower third of oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until puffed and browned. A knife stuck into center should come out clean. Serve piping hot as an appetizer or a main course. Serves 8 -- 2.7 carb grams per serving.
