Skinny-Minnie Quiche Lorraine with Sauteed Onions and Turkey Bacon

Using soy-creamer and low-fat turkey bacon cuts the calories in this dish - but not the flavor!

1 all-natural pie crust shell

5 large cage-free organic eggs

1 cup soy creamer (Silk or Trader Joe's brand)

4-5 slices low-fat organic turkey bacon

1 medium onion, sliced

1/4 cup your favorite shredded cheese blend (Asiago, Parmesan, Romano, etc.)

3-4 slices light Jarlsberg or other Swiss cheese

1-2 tbs. olive oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 ts. fresh ground pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. sugar (optional)

1 pinch nutmeg (preferably fresh-grated)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, soy creamer, seasonings (except sugar), and a bit of the shredded cheese. Set aside. In a skillet, heat 1/2 tbs. olive oil over medium-high and cook the bacon until browned. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel. Add the rest of the oil to the pan and saute the onions until tender. Add sugar if you are not using a sweet onion. Let cool a few minutes, then place onions in the bottom of the pie crust. Tear the turkey bacon into pieces and distribute evenly over onions. Pour in egg mixture. Top with remaining shredded cheese and sliced Swiss. Bake for 30-35 minutes until puffy, golden, and cooked through. Let stand and cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Great paired with a side salad and a glass of Rustico Proseco. The leftovers make a delicious breakfast or brunch!
