Whether you plan on serving it for brunch, lunch, or dinner, we have side dishes to serve with quiche all day long. From crispy breakfast potatoes to leafy green salads, there's something for every kind of gathering.
Fresh fruit salads for morning get-togethers, and savory asparagus in a creamy cheese sauce for quiche-filled dinners—most of these sides are super simple to throw together, because after assembling a homemade quiche, you want a delicious, but effortless side dish to serve alongside. We've gathered our favorite tasty quiche sides, and we're confident you'll find something delicious to serve with quiche in this collection of recipes.
Roasted Broccoli
Tender and crispy, these broccoli florets are an easy way to add a dose of veggies to the plate. We keep the flavors fairly simple, so that you can treat the side dish as a blank canvas for your favorite flavors, from ranch seasoning to a sprinkle of lemon pepper.
Asparagus with Cheese Sauce and Herb Breadcrumbs
Get a little fancy with your asparagus with this recipe. Since quiche is such a beautiful and decadent dish, it seems only fitting to serve it with a vegetable side that matches its richness.
Spring Salad with Berries and Bacon
This colorful salad instantly brightens up any plate. With fresh, sweet strawberries, salty and crispy bacon, plus tangy yellow tomatoes, each bite is bursting with flavor.
Sugar Snap Pea Salad
Frederick Hardy II, Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley
This salad looks like a spring garden with its gorgeous edible flowers and verdant veggies. And not only does it look beautiful, but it delivers on flavor thanks to a zippy Dijon dressing and crunchy breadcrumb topping.
Oven-Roasted Asparagus

Sometimes simple is best, and this side dish proves it. With just four ingredients (not counting salt and pepper), this ultra-easy side showcases the beauty in simplicity.
Romaine Salad With Oranges And Radishes
Victor Protasio; Food Stylist: Melissa Gray; Prop Stylist: Christine Keely
Every meal can use a little crunch, and this salad, made with crisp romaine leaves and peppery radishes, will add just the right amount texture to the meal.
Broccoli Salad
Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox
This is our take on the classic salad you'll find at just about every potluck. Ours uses sunflower seeds for a nutty crunch, sharp white Cheddar cheese, and sweet dried cranberries for a balanced bite.
Fresh Fruit Salad
If serving quiche for breakfast or brunch, a bright and colorful fruit salad is always a good option. While we use oranges, melon, and berries, feel free to use your favorite fruits, or whatever looks best at the market that day.
Five Golden Rings Fruit Salad
Greg Dupree; Prop Stylist: Ginny Branch; Food Stylist: Micah Morton
Although we designed this citrus salad with Christmas in mind (hence the name), it's truly a year-round crowdpleaser. For the prettiest presentation, try to buy a variety of colored citrus like Ruby Red grapefruit, blood oranges, and Cara Cara oranges.
Roasted Potatoes
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
A properly roasted potato is a thing of beauty. It should be crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside just like these potatoes. We would eat these potatoes with just about anything, but we love them served alongside quiche for brunch in particular.
Roasted Broccolini With Pecans And Lemon
Greg Dupree; Food Stylist: Micah Morton; Prop Stylist: Ginny Branch
Swap your usual broccoli for broccolini, its longer, thinner cousin. Roasted until tender and served with caramelized lemons and pecans, this dish is the perfect grown-up veggie side dish.
Tomato-Mozzarella Salad
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
Add a pop of color to the table with this vibrant tomato salad. Basil, tomatoes, and mozzarella are always a winning combination, and this salad is no exception to that rule.
Spinach Salad With Warm Bacon Dressing
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
Just the words "warm bacon dressing" have us sold on this salad. If hard-boiled eggs on the salad feel like too much served alongside eggy quiche, feel free to leave them off. You can swap in another creamy topping instead, like sliced avocado.
Glazed Carrots
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
We love how rainbow carrots instantly brighten a meal. If serving quiche for dinner, these carrots are a beautiful way to round out the meal.
Spring Vegetable Sauté
Greg Dupree; Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer; Prop Stylist: Christina Daley
Fill your plate with all the best of spring produce with this easy sauté. Although pictured with ham, we think it makes a lovely side dish for quiche.
Cucumber-Tomato-Avocado Salad
Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox
With all the cheesy, eggy goodness of quiche, you might want a refreshing salad to cut through the fat. This one, filled with crunchy cucumbers and juicy tomatoes, fits the bill perfectly.
Shaved Vegetable Salad
Greg Dupree; Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn; Prop Stylist: Claire Spollen
Shaving veggies into ribbons doesn't technically impact the taste, but something about how pretty it makes them makes eating your vegetables that much more pleasurable.
Cucumber-and-Vidalia Onion Salad
The sweet and mild Vidalia onions are the star of this simple salad. This recipe requires a little bit of chopping, but the effort is well worth the final result.
Hashbrown Casserole
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
We might be biased, but we think this hearty casserole goes with just about every breakfast, including quiche. It doesn't hurt that it only requires 20 minutes of hands-on cooking either.
Creamy Parmesan Grits
We'll serve grits with most things, including quiche. It's a little decadent, we know.
Cheesecake Fruit Salad
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
Some fruit salads are just a variety of fresh fruit tossed together, but this recipe takes the format to the next level. Whipped cream cheese, frozen whipped topping, and powdered sugar emulate the flavor of cheesecake and become a creamy dressing for all your favorite fruit.
Tangy Raspberry Salad
Not only do raspberries add a great zing to this salad, they also contribute a beautiful deep red color, too.
Hash Brown Patties
VICTOR PROTASIO, FOOD STYLIST MARGARET DICKEY, PROP STYLIST PRISSY LEE
Sure, you could always buy hash browns frozen, but for those shooting for extra credit, try this homemade recipe.
Millionaire Bacon
Caitlin Bensel; Food Styling: Torie Cox
You can always serve plain bacon beside quiche, but this sweet and smoky gussied up bacon is for those times when you want to show off a little bit.
Breakfast Potatoes
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
This five-ingredient potato dish (salt and pepper don't count!) is exactly the kind of easy morning side we reach for when we want to impress but not stress.
Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
If you already keep frozen tater tots on hand as a last-minute dinner side dish, then this is the casserole for you. They transform with a little cheese and bacon into a homey side dish perfect for serving with quiche.
Cowboy Fried Corn
Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox
There might not be anything better than a side dish with corn taking the starring role. Except for a fresh and flavorful side that is ready in less than 20 minutes.
Frenched Green Bean Salad
Victor Protasio, Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley
Whether you're hosting a lunch, brunch, or early Sunday dinner, this six-ingredient side is a light and elegant recipe for pairing with quiche.
Stick of Butter Rice
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
There is nothing boring about rice – especially when it is a recipe bursting with buttery perfection. Beef consomme gives it the flavor of a French onion soup, and oregano adds herbal notes too.
Cajun Potatoes
Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox
The perfect sidekick to any main is a bowl of roasted potatoes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. These spuds also have a seasoning that gives them just the right spicy kick.
