Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl: egg, mozzarella cheese, Swiss cheese, onion, mushroom, ham, milk, and the frozen Stouffer's product.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked deep-dish pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the filling looks set in the middle.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier soufflé texture, beat the egg whites separately until soft peaks form and then fold them into the mixture. You can substitute the ham with cooked bacon or sautéed spinach for a vegetarian option. If you don't have Stouffer's frozen product, use a similar frozen vegetable mix or leftover cooked veggies to enhance flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This Spinach Soufflé Quiche pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For a brunch option, serve with a light fruit salad or a glass of sparkling water. You can also offer it alongside a slice of Aunt Millie'S Ham Loaf for a delicious variety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator before baking. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap. When ready to bake, remove the wrap and bake according to the instructions. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
What if I don't have a deep-dish pie crust?
If you don't have a deep-dish pie crust, you can use a standard pie crust, but be sure to reduce the filling quantity slightly to prevent overflow. Alternatively, you could make a crustless version by greasing the pie dish and simply pouring in the filling.
Can I freeze the quiche after baking?
Yes, you can freeze the quiche after baking. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer. It can be stored for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then warm in the oven.
