Wondering what to serve with quiche? This list has you covered, with everything from simple salads to hearty soups. There’s also a money-saving list of items you could pick up from the store, and some quick meal inspiration!
We have some ideas for what to eat with quiche, whether you’re whipping up a side to go with your neighborhood bakery’s quiche, or a quiche you made yourself.
You can make it for breakfast and brunch, enjoy it with a cup of coffee or better yet, serve it for dinner when you need something hot and easy to whip up.
Sometimes quiche on its own is just not enough, though. This is especially true if you plan to serve it for a couple of people for dinner, lunch, or brunch.
You can stretch a whole quiche to serve 8 people if you serve a couple of sides alongside it. For that reason, we have compiled a list of our favorite sides for quiche that you can whip up in no time.
Tips to save money and time
Some days, you may just want some ideas for what to pick up at the store and spare yourself the cost of ingredients. Plus, we can’t always be in the kitchen whipping things up from scratch.
Here are the top 10 most popular easy items to serve with quiche:
- Salad. A simple bagged salad kit is a light, fresh side dish to your quiche. You can choose any type of salad you like, but a green salad with vinaigrette dressing is a classic choice.
- Soup. As hearty or as light as you want it to be, what a lovely side to warm up on a cold day. A creamy soup like tomato soup or broccoli cheddar soup is a great pairing with quiche, just ask La Madeleine’s.
- Fruit. One of my favorites, especially at brunch. A fruit salad or a plate of fresh berries is always a winner.
- Bread. A crusty piece of bread is a classic accompaniment to quiche. You can choose any type of bread you like, but a baguette or a croissant is a great option.
- Crackers. Smoked Gouda Triscuits? Check. Buttery Ritz? Check. Those seasonal artisan crackers at TJs and Aldi’s? Triple check! All good with quiche.
- Chips. Isn’t there a famous deli or two that has their own housemade chips offered up with quiche? Who knows, but they should if they haven’t yet.
- Veg. Like these Bell peppers in the air fryer. Seriously, you don’t need to do anything besides wash them. They come out slightly charred, soft, and sweet. Slide three roasted mini peppers onto everyone’s plate.
- Sauce. Sauce, yes! From tomatillo salsa to hollandaise sauce or béchamel, a spoonful adds a little something to a rich quiche.
- Potatoes. Toss a simple, humble sweet potato in the microwave, add air fryer sweet potato rounds, loaded fingerlings, hasselback or just traditional mashed. Potatoes are always a crowd-pleaser.
- Garnishes. Garnishes can add some visual appeal and flavor to your quiche. You can choose any type of garnish you like, but chopped herbs, bacon bits, or shredded cheese add panache.
These are just a few of the many popular items that you can serve with quiche. With so many options to choose from, you are sure to find the perfect accompaniment for your quiche.
Quick meal inspiration
If you need some help deciding, let’s take a look at some of our recipe recommendations for what to serve with quiche.
For quiche that contains seafood: Try Cheddar Bay Biscuits, Homemade Seafood Chowder, Easy Arugula, or Steamed Green Beans With Lemon.
With a mild quiche: go for bold flavors for your sides: Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus, Bacon-Wrapped Dates, Roasted Vegetable Bisque.
Heavily cheesy or meaty quiche: Go for light sides, like fruit salad, arugula with lemon vinaigrette, tomato basil soup, or air fryer mini bell peppers.
What To Serve With Quiche
1. Green Salad
Thanks to all the eggs and cheese in it, a quiche is often a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal. This is why pairing it with a light green salad made with romaine, iceberg, or a mix of both, with just a few fresh vegetables can be a good idea.
Ingredients include: Mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, English cucumbers, red onion, and balsamic vinaigrette.
If you have made a savory quiche, especially one with proteins like chicken or crab, pairing it with a fruit salad is a good option. Depending on which fresh fruits are available in your region, make a simple chopped fruit salad or hot compote and serve it with your quiche and a glass of white wine.
Ingredients include: Strawberries, pineapple, grapes, blueberries, and mandarin oranges.
One perfect side for quiche is a bowl of fresh and sweet berries. This pair will be most appropriate if you plan to serve quiche at a picnic or evening tea. Though fresh berries on their own are excellent, you can go the extra mile by topping with fresh cream and powdered sugar, too.
Ingredients include: Berries, lime juice, sugar, vanilla pudding mix, and whipping cream.
You can buy one of those big rectangular containers of spring mix, organic or otherwise, for just a few dollars and you can serve a whole table of people with a side of tossed mixed greens.
Tip: Season your greens! Salt and pepper, steak seasoning, celery seasoning, and other spice blends all do wonders for greens.
Ingredients include: Mixed greens, red onion, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and garlic.
Here’s our Champagne Vinaigrette that isn’t sweet at all and would make a nice tossed greens side.
5. Tomato Soup
Soups go well with quiche, especially in fall and winter to add to the warmth and comfort of the meal. So if you are making a quiche with a heavy cheesy filling, like a Cheese Onion quiche, tomato soup would pair well.
Ingredients include: Tomatoes, onion, flour, vegetable stock, and tomato paste.
Combine in a blender several kinds of cooked vegetables, add sour cream, bacon, and chives to create tasty and excellent bisque. Though this side takes time, it will be well worth it when you eat the bisque and quiche together.

Yes, the simple wedge salad with a nice chunk of iceberg lettuce, blue cheese dressing, chopped cooked bacon, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients include: Bacon, cherry tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, red onion, and blue cheese dressing.
8. Pea Salad
I remember having Pea Salad at my aunt’s house as a child and not being too sure about shredded cheese in a cold salad. And yet, now that I’m (almost) grown-up, this chilled and easy peasy (get it?) make-ahead salad.
It’s a nice side for simple Onion-and-Cheddar Quiche.
Ingredients include: Frozen peas, bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella cheese.

10. Waldorf Salad
