peameal bacon

Turkey bacon offers a leaner option with fewer calories.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

goat cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Feta provides a similar tangy flavor at a lower cost.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a tart pan.

Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and blind bake for 15 minutes.

Cook the peameal bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes, then transfer to ice water to stop cooking.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

Spread the cooked bacon mixture evenly over the tart crust.

Arrange the blanched green beans on top of the bacon mixture.

Pour the egg mixture over the filling and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and parmesan cheese.

Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden.

Let the tart cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
