I LOVE this and it's SO easy!

Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust
5 slices bacon
1/2 small onion, peeled and chopped
1 cup shredded cheese of your choice
3 eggs
3/4 cup low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
pinch of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, optional

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Press crust into a 9 inch pie dish, and bake for 5 minutes. Remove and reduce hear to 375 degrees F.
2. In a small skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain. Discard all but 1 T. of drippings. Saute onions in drippings for about 2 minutes; remove pan from heat. Crumble the cooled bacon and set aside.
3. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the bottom of the pie shell. Evenly distrubute bacon and onion over the cheese.
