Notes: Christmas Eve dinner in the Drouin Family is a pretty serious matter. Cracked Dungeness crab, clam chowder, quiche, sour dough bread, and we always make a green salad that no one really eats. Dessert is always no bake cherry cheese cake, Mary Pat's Christmas tree sugar cookies, and other assorted sweets and candies. Beverly's quiche made it's appearance in the early 1970's and it's been a permanent dish ever since.
As an adult I have used Mom's basic recipe to create my breakfast frittata and started adding different additions to the basic recipe over the years. This is a stand alone dish or you can change it into something for your own tastes.
