Ingredients

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

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
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.
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.
Whisk half-and-half, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
Sprinkle bacon into the bottom of the pie crust; top with Swiss cheese. Pour egg mixture over Swiss cheese.
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.
