    Whether serving quiche for brunch or dinner, you never need to need to wonder what to serve with quiche. This amazing list of best sides for quiche includes both sweet and savory recipes to please all of your guests!

    Wondering what to serve with quiche? Sweet and savory, meat and meatless, this list includes some of the best sides to serve with quiche.

    Homemade quiche can be easily made at home by using homemade pie crust or a store-bought pie crust. Or make things even easier and lighter by serving a crustless quiche such as broccoli Cheddar, asparagus and feta or smoked salmon quiche.

    Dive into this list of easy side dishes to find the best sides to serve with quiche. An epic brunch is just around the corner!

    Roasted mini potatoes

    Crispy, golden brown potatoes are always a popular side dish. They can work for breakfast, brunch or dinner. As much as I love a good dish of hashbrowns, roasted potatoes can be even easier to make.

    Match the seasonings of the potatoes to match the quiche filling. For example, if there's thyme in the quiche, use a combo of thyme and rosemary. Serving a quiche with feta cheese? Add oregano to the potatoes to match the Greek-inspired theme.

    Roast potatoes can even be made ahead of time to make meal prep easier. Reheat and re-crisp them in a 400 degree F oven before serving.

    Roasted mini potatoes are pretty much the perfect side dish. Golden brown and tender, these ones are seasoned with Chinese 5-spice powder, but almost any herbs and spices can be used.

    Green salad

    There's nothing easier than a simple green salad. Grab a box of mixed salad greens or arugula from the grocery store and dress it with homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

    Serve the salad on the side of the quiche or pile some dressed, peppery arugula leaves on top of each slice of quiche.

    Dress up the salad by adding your favorite fruit or veggies, such as cucumber, tomato, strawberries, apples, grapes or bell peppers. Toasted nuts or seeds, and cheese are also good flavor and texture additions. Try feta or goat cheese, sunflower seeds, pepitas or toasted almonds.

    Fruit salad

    Nothing rounds out brunch as well as a simple fruit salad. Strawberries, mango, pineapple, banana, grapes, apple, kiwi, berries...the sky's the limit.

    The key to the best fruit salads are fresh, sweet fruit. Head to the market to find what's in season. Summertime is a great time to highlight fresh berries. Opt for fruits like apples in the fall.

    Dress the fruit with a squeeze of fresh orange juice or whisk together some lime juice, honey (or agave nectar) and fresh mint leaves.

    Banana Blueberry Muffins

    Homemade muffins are always welcome at brunch, and are an easy side for quiche! Pack them with fresh fruit and opt for applesauce instead of oil for a less calorie-laden muffin.

    Banana and blueberry is always a popular combination. Swap out the blueberries with strawberries, raspberries or blackberries. Or use a combination of your favorites berries.

    Make a double batch of muffins and freeze them. Take out what you need a couple of hours ahead of time. There's nothing better than having a stash of sweet muffins on hand at all times!

    Caesar cocktail

    Brunch just doesn't feel complete without a good Bloody Mary or my favorite Canadian version, a Caesar cocktail. The perfect cocktail to serve with quiche!

    The adult version uses vodka, but a vodka-free mocktail is just as tasty. Bloody Caesars are made with Clamato juice and seasoned with tobasco and Worcestershire sauces. Traditional Bloody Marys are made with tomato juice and seasoned with tobasco, Worcestershire and horseradish.

    Asparagus

    Asparagus is one of the easiest side dishes for quiche. The freshest stalks can usually be found in the spring and early summer.

    Asparagus is very versatile. It can be grilled, blanched, roasted, steamed and even air fried. Season it with salt and pepper, or branch with other herbs and spices. Try smoked paprika, thyme or rosemary. Or drizzle it with a simple lemon vinaigrette.

    Smoothies can be made with yogurt and milk, or can be made dairy-free by using water, fruit juice or plant-based milks.

    Pasta salad

    When serving brunch for a crowd, a variety of dishes is always welcome. Whip up a simple pasta salad to serve with quiche.

    Pasta salads come in many forms, from the mix-ins to the dressing. For the dressing, use a traditional mayo-based version or opt for a lighter lemon vinaigrette.

    Keep the meal meatless by serving a vegetable-only pasta salad. Some popular additions are roasted or raw bell peppers, tomatoes, artichokes, green beans, snap peas and cheese.

    If you are looking for an extra dose of protein, add shrimp, chicken, tuna or salmon.

    This salad can be made ahead of time, making brunch prep even easier.

    Crack open the champagne and mix it with orange juice for a classic Mimosa. Fresh squeezed orange juice tastes best. If you prefer pulp-less orange juice, strain the juice before adding the champagne.

    Vegetable side dishes are solid options when figuring out what to serve with quiche, particularly for lunch or dinner.

    Sugar snap peas have a fresh flavor and delightful crunch. Try blanching them in boiling water or sautéing in a little olive oil.

    While snap peas taste great when drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, feel free to branch out to other seasonings. Add fresh or dried herbs and garlic, toss in some cheese or add a handful of toasted nuts.

    • Unroll the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate, pressing gently into the corners. If you like, crimp the edges.
    • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1 minute. Drain in a colander and rinse with very cold water or immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water. Arrange the broccoli on the bottom of the pie crust.
    • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, water, cottage cheese, thyme, salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously to break up the cottage cheese.
    • Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli in the pie dish. Top with the Cheddar cheese.
    • Bake until the egg is just set and a small, sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
    • Let the quiche rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 6 wedges. Serve.

    Notes

    Note 1: If preferred, use 6 whole eggs instead of the 4 eggs and 4 egg whites.
    Note 2: If preferred, substitute with milk.
