Christmas morning was all about quiche. My mother would always make two or three varieties and we would gather for a big brunch before the gift exchange began. As my sisters and I had families of our own, we would contribute our own quiche creations to the annual brunch tradition. I created Christmas quiche due to the red and green colors of the vegetables I used in this one. Not that we gave blue ribbons, but if we had, I feel certain this one would be the winner!
