About

A good quiche is always popular and this one, made with kipper fillets, is a tasty contrast to all the meat and turkey one eats at Christmas time. You can make the quiche in advance - it freezes well. Warmed up and accompanied simply by a crisp green salad it makes an effortless supper dish on Christmas Eve.

For a change, replace kippers with smoked mackerel fillets.
