Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

cook's notes
The cheddar and mozzarella add a little salty flavor to the dish but you may wish to add additional salt (and pepper) if desired.

I make this recipe and use to boxes of spinach. My family loves it. I also switch the spinach with chopped broccoli sometimes and it's just as good.

I thought this was one of the best and gourmet-like spinach dishes! It makes enough for holiday size dishes and cooks up into a large souffle-like dish. I did increase the spinach to 2 10oz. boxes.Don't see why you couldn't use other veggies as well.If your a quiche lover, you'll love this! I found it very easy to make and reheat!

Very tasty. I used a little less cheese and cooked for 1 hour. Served with bacon, my family loved it!!!!

This dish was very tasty, but too heavy for me. I liked it enough to play around with the proportions. I plan to try it with more spinach and less cheddar and mozzarella.
