Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, 1 large egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.
In a large frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, the remaining 4 eggs, nutmeg, and black pepper.
Crumble the cooled bacon and place it evenly over the cooled crust.
Sprinkle the cheese and chopped green onions over the bacon.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon, cheese, and onions, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes. The quiche should be golden brown and slightly firm to the touch in the center.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
