Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the egg and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and roll it out thinly to form a rough rectangle or circle shape about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) thick.
Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes, until slightly golden.
While the crust is baking, thinly slice the onion and cut the bacon into small strips.
Mix the sour cream with ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sour cream evenly over the surface.
Top with sliced onions and bacon strips.
Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the onions are soft.
Remove from oven and garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
Slice into pieces and serve hot.
