A soufflé is a light, fluffy baked dish made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients and served as a main dish or sweetened as a dessert. The word soufflé is the past participle of the French verb souffler which means "to blow up" or more loosely "puff up" — an apt description of what happens to this combination of custard and egg whites.
Every soufflé is made from 2 basic components:
1. a base of flavored cream sauce or purée
2. beaten egg whites.
The base provides the flavor and the whites provide the "lift". Common varieties for the base include cheese, chocolate, and lemon (the last two used for desserts, with a good deal of sugar). When it comes out of the oven, a soufflé is generally very large and fluffy, and will "fall" after 20 or 30 minutes (as risen dough does).
Soufflé can be made in containers of all shapes and sizes, but it is traditional to make soufflé in "soufflé cups" or ramekins.
A quiche [IPA: ki:ʃ] (also known in British English as a flan) is a pie that is made primarily of eggs and cream in a pastry crust. Other ingredients such as chopped meat, vegetables and cheese are often added to the eggs before the quiche is baked.
Quiche Lorraine is perhaps the most common variety. In addition to the egg and cream, it includes bacon. Cheese (usually Swiss) is not an ingredient of the original Lorraine recipe. The addition of onion to Quiche Lorraine makes Quiche Alsacienne.
The word quiche is derived from the Lorrain dialect of the French language, and entered English in 1941.

quiche has a crust. souffle does not, also the primary food in quiche is eggs, whereas in a souffle it's usually egg whites so that it rises. also, quiche are usually savory, while souffles are both savory and sweet. think chocolate souffle.

Souffle has beaten egg whites to make it puff up but quiche has whole eggs as its base and no beaten whites. Quiche is simple to make and souffle is much harder to pull off.

I think a souffle will fall and a quiche will not.
