Ham Quiche Lorraine

Originating in France, ham quiche Loraine is made with bacon and cheese. This low carb version uses ham, caramelized onions, Gouda and a unique low carb crust to create a beautiful presentation. This quiche originates from the Lorraine region of France where it is typically made with bacon, onions, and custard of eggs, milk, cream, and cheese. Quiche Lorraine became popular when I was a kid and I remember it served at brunches and Ladies Luncheons. I like the play between the salty ingredients of ham and cheese against the sweet caramelized onions. A little nutmeg adds a nice dimension to the custard and gives it a more sophisticated flavor.
