A festive and filling quiche that can be served throughout the holiday season.
By Jerri Green
By now if your house is like mine, the stockings are hung by the chimney with care, the tree has been decorated, and a few presents may have even been purchased. If you are also like me, your to do list seems to be growing as the days til Christmas are dwindling. That means I like to make meals I can eat on for days. This Christmas quiche is just that sort of thing.

It is simple and delicious. Plus, the red and green colors are just appropriate this time of year don’t ya think? I am considering whipping up another one for Christmas morning so we can all enjoy it together as we dig into those stockings and stare at that tree and open a few gifts. Now back to that list… 
This didn’t turn out at all and I followed it perfectly. 4 eggs were not enough. It didn’t even fill the shell half way.
I made this for a baby shower as an appetizer. Delicious !!! And I made another one for our brunch. Wonderful recipe and didn’t change anything. Very easy to make. Thanks for sharing
