What side dishes should you serve with Quiche? I mean – you’ve got typically got eggs and cheese – so where do you go from there? I’ve got 30+ side dish recipes from salads to breads to dessert that all pair great with quiche.
I have a lot of Quiche recipes – I hope you try some of those as well! Quiche is so great because it’s so versatile! My mom used to use leftover soup to make hers – I love to pile mine with cheese and veggies. It’s so flexible. My friend even has a Mother’s Day Brunch with three kinds of quiche every year. So much yum!
What is Quiche?
Quiche is a French dish that starts with a pie crust and then you fill it with a custard (egg & milk) and then add in pieces of cheese, meat, seafood or vegetables.
Here are my favorite Quiche recipes:
- Mom’s Quiche – it’s her base recipe that you can add your favorite meat, cheese and veggies to
- Quiche Florentine – this is one of the most classic quiche dishes with just spinach, onion and Swiss
- Crustless Quiche with Spinach, Feta and Tomato – make it a little healthier by leaving out the crust – it’s still yummy!
- Pizza Quiche – my foodie bestie has a delicious Pizza Quiche recipe that is not to be missed!
Now that we’ve got the quiche down – let’s get down to business with 30+ side dishes to serve with any kind of quiche!

Love the idea of pairing something with quiche. Usually I’m too lazy and just serve it on its own.
