Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, melted
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 5 large eggs
• 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 cups almond meal

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix almond meal, butter, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/8 teaspoon white pepper together, forming a ball. Gently press dough into a 9-inch pie pan.

Step 3

Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The crust will puff up slightly; gently press it back down with a spoon or fork. Continue baking until just lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Whisk half-and-half, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl.

Step 5

Sprinkle bacon into the bottom of the pie crust; top with Swiss cheese. Pour egg mixture over Swiss cheese.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes to finish setting in the middle.
