Quebec Tourtiere

After making this traditional Quebec pork pie once, you will understand the appeal. Tourtière is traditionally served on Christmas Eve in Quebec after midnight Mass, so the fact that it can be made ahead is essential. Let the agnostic in the crowd put the tourtière in the oven so it is ready when everyone arrives home. Skip scratch pastry and pick up the super-easy-to-use refrigerated rolled-up crusts. They are simple, fabulously flaky and eliminate the finicky rolling pin transfer from counter to pie plate.
