Bacon, Ham and Swiss Quiche

6 strips of bacon
1 cup chopped peeled onion
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 cup diced cooked ham

3. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on the bottom of unbaked pie crust. Top with onion and cheese.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, salt, nutmeg and pepper until well blended. Stir in ham. Pour into pie crust and bake for 30 minutes, or until center is set.
