Quiche Lorraine, the Lighter Version

 

Who doesn't love quiche Lorraine? The bacon? The Gruyere cheese? The cream? Oh, yes, the calories! Here's a lightened version that tastes delicious, but comes with a much lower "price" tag.

1 Pillsbury pie crust

8 slices Oscar Meyer center cut bacon

3 eggs

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1 cup (4 oz) shredded Gruyere cheese

1 1/2 cups of half and half

Follow the package directions to precook 1 pie crust.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook the bacon crisp, drain, and chop.

Shred the cheese.

Mix the eggs, salt, nutmeg, and half and half well.

Place the bacon and cheese in the bottom of the precooked pie crust. Carefully pour over the liquid mixture.

Bake for 30-40 minutes or until set with just a bit of a jiggle.

Cut into 6 or 8 pieces (1/6 is 7 SP; 1/8 is 9 SP on green).
