Bacon Cheeseburger Quiche (South Beach Phase 1)

Yum! I wouldn't let make eat the leftovers, because I wanted to freeze the leftovers for an easy meal.


1 lb very lean hamburger 
1 small chopped onion 
4 slices crisp-cooked turkey bacon chopped in bits 
3 eggs 
1/2 c low-fat mayonnaise 
1/2 c fat-free half-n-half 
8 oz shredded reduced-fat cheddar or Swiss cheese 
garlic powder to taste (optional) 
white pepper

Preheat oven to 350°F. 

Brown hamburger in skillet with onion. Remove and mix in bowl with bacon pieces breaking up any larger clumps with a fork or pastry mixer until you have a fine mix. Drain well of any excess grease and press into the bottom of a deep-dish pie pan. Set aside. 

Combine remaining ingredients in mixer bowl and whip well. Pour mixture over beef 'crust' and bake 40-45 minutes until top is browned and 'set'. 

Cool 15-20 minutes before slicing.
