Christmas Quiche Recipe – Spinach, Red Bell Pepper & Feta

‘Tis the season of family traditions, and in our home many of those traditions revolve around food. It starts with my annual cookie exchange (oh my, sugar high) and continues with our Christmas Eve tradition of eating tamales…it’s a Texas thing that we embraced many years ago. Christmas Quiche is on the menu for Christmas morning – the colors are festive, the taste is delicious and you’ll have it on the table quickly.
