Potato crusted cheesy cauliflower casserole.

Quiches freeze pretty well and are essentially egg custards with vegetables, or whatever other filling, mixed in.

I think you did the right thing.  Custards, cooked or raw, tend to break once thawed.  The water in the wet ingredients freezes and never reabsorbs.  It leaves the custard curdled in appearance and a watery liquid in the bottom of the casserole.
