Sweet Onion, Gruyere and Bacon Quiche

6 slices turkey bacon

1 cup chopped sweet onion (about 1 medium)

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 large eggs

2 large egg whites

¾ cup evaporated skim milk

¾ cup low-fat milk

2 teaspoons cornstarch

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¾ grated Gruyere cheese

1 frozen deep-dish 9-inch pie shell

Place oven rack in lower third of oven. Heat 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, then 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 30-40 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.

Serves eight.
