1. Blueberry Scones

Scones are an excellent excuse to eat something with all the makings of a dessert that is socially accepted as a breakfast or teatime food. Serve these buttery delicacies as a side dish with your quiche for a delicious morning meal or brunch.

The blueberries add that “something sweet” while the cream cheese adds a tangy flavor that is perfect when served with a rich, savory egg dish.

I always like to see lots of colors in my meals, so between whatever you decide to put in your quiche and the blueberries, this is a very visually appealing meal!

Blueberry Cream Cheese Scones
Ridiculously delicious Blueberry Cream Cheese Scones are the perfect combination of rich, buttery, tart, and tangy that's sure to please everyone! With a wonderfully tender crumb texture these addictive scones are hard to resist grabbing whether you're on-the-go or enjoying coffee on the porch!

2. Hard Boiled Eggs

Sometimes, you just need more eggs. How often do you eat scrambled eggs for breakfast and find yourself craving egg salad for lunch?

There are so many different ways to make them, they really seem like they should be different food groups. A perfectly cooked hard boil egg makes a great addition to a slice of quiche for anyone who wants just a little more protein.

In all fairness, most quiche recipes don’t even call for that many eggs. Season these any way you’d like for any meal of the day!

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
Making the best, easy-peel Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs is practically effortless, with minimal fuss, and almost completely hands-free on your part! Your eggs are cooked to perfection EVERY single time, no watching the pot boil anymore!

3. Raisin Bran Muffins

Quiche with a side of muffins makes any breakfast better. These delightful cinnamon-y bran muffins with raisins are so much better than the cereal version, you’ll forget it ever existed.

You can take these tasty muffins to the next level if you have a bit of butter and honey to drizzle on top! The sweetness would be a tasty contrast when served with a rich, savory breakfast quiche!

Bran adds fiber and that nutty flavor we all know and love. Smear on some cream cheese if you’re feeling bold. Go ahead. It’s worth it.

Raisin Bran Muffins
Delicious raisin bran muffins are an easy-to-make breakfast treat made with the classic raisin bran cereal we all know and love. The tasty cinnamon muffin surrounds bran flakes and tender bites of raisin and is perfect with a touch of honey or a pat of butter. You can even make a large batch and store the extras for an on-the-go meal on busy mornings.

4. Sausage Cream Cheese Balls

Looking for something a little more savory? Try these! Cheesy, sausage biscuit bites are filled with flavor and are a great side with quiche at any meal of the day.

If you’re craving a spinach and mushroom quiche or have a vegetarian joining you for dinner, this is a great way to add something on the side for the meat lovers of the group.

Bisquick Sausage Balls
Bisquick sausage balls are a delicious appetizer loaded with pork breakfast sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Bisquick! The easy-to-make snack-size cream cheese balls are golden crispy on the outside with a great cheesy flavor! Serve them at any party and watch them disappear!

5. Cinnamon Rolls

Round out a breakfast or brunch quiche with something sweet! Is there any meal that isn’t made better with a cinnamon roll?

Whether you make the rich, vanilla icing or the tangy, cream cheese, you really can’t go wrong! They're both a perfect topping to these homemade cinnamon rolls.

Are you sensing a trend? Balancing sweet and savory is the best combo ever! Maybe some of these pairings will convince you to serve breakfast for dinner!

Cinnamon Rolls with Vanilla Icing
These cinnamon rolls with icing are always a delightfully decadent Sunday morning (or holiday) breakfast for the whole family! Classic cinnamon rolls are easy to make and filled with rich flavors! No matter if you grew up calling these amazing comfort food rolls 'cinnamon buns' or 'cinnamon scrolls,' they're always a treat to eat!

6. Dutch Babies

This German pancake is becoming more and more popular in the US. It’s an eggy and delicious base for adding things like powdered sugar and lemon, fruit, or your favorite syrup or jam.

For those who lean towards savory vs. sweet, try adding avocado and shaved ham or sauteed kale and bacon topped with a little bit of cheddar! Your options are endless when serving this tasty pancake with your quiche!

If you have a group with mixed tastes at your table, you can even do half and half. Better yet, you could create a toppings bar and let everyone individualize their own piece of the Dutch baby pancake. Yum!

Dutch Baby Pancake Recipe
This Dutch baby pancake recipe is a childhood favorite of mine. Dutch babies are German pancakes made in one large cast iron skillet or two to three smaller cast iron skillets. These eggy German pancakes are delicious as a base for adding a wide variety of additional flavors, from sweet to savory!

7. Hash Browns

Fry some hash browns to add a salty crunch on the side of your quiche. Mix in some chives and cheddar for something really special. We usually think about breakfast or brunch when we hear about these, but there’s no reason you can’t pull them out for lunch or dinner, too!

Potatoes are fantastic at any time of day. Hash browns and eggs, or in this case quiche, is a classic combination that will have everyone asking for seconds!

Want a creative upgrade to your quiche? Try baking a hash brown crust (instead of the usual butter crust or shortcrust pastry) before adding your quiche filling!

Homemade Hash Browns
Enjoy homemade hash browns that are simple to prepare and delicious. You can cook them to your preference, whether tender or crispy. They complement your favorite breakfast dishes perfectly, creating a full and satisfying meal. Making these classic potato hash browns from scratch is nearly as effortless as using store-bought ones!

8. Blueberry Pancakes

Pancakes. Is there any better breakfast food? Fluffy, buttery, sweet, and dripping with butter and maple syrup or blueberry syrup. And in this case, filled with blueberries! There’s something nostalgic about blueberry pancakes.

Going out for breakfast used to mean choosing between egg dishes and sweet breads like pancakes or french toast. With this meal, you get the best of all the morning foods on one plate!

Blueberry Pancakes From Scratch
Delicious blueberry pancakes are the perfect weekend treat! Top with our amazing homemade blueberry syrup for an extra special blueberry breakfast!

9. French Toast

French toast is good. Sourdough french toast with rich maple and vanilla egg coating is better! Try adding this next to your plate full of quiche.

I’m sure no one will complain! The cinnamon and nutmeg on top make this a real show-stopper. Try my strawberry coulis for an even more flavor-packed breakfast side!

Sourdough French Toast
This Sourdough French Toast combines the well-loved sourdough bread flavor with rich maple and a vanilla egg coating! Surprise your family by serving an out-of-this-world breakfast combination and get rave reviews from everyone at the table!

10. Banana Muffins

Here is another tasty muffin option. They’re filled with blueberries and bananas and a dash of lemon. It’s really an amazing recipe!

And as an added bonus, if you know you’re going to be in a time crunch, you can make these muffins in advance. Both the quiche and banana muffins can be reheated just a few minutes before you’re ready to eat.

Best Banana Blueberry Muffins (So Tasty & Easy To Make!)
Tasty banana blueberry muffins are an incredible way to start out any day with their perfect blend of sweet bananas, berries, and citrus zing! They're quick and easy to make, and a family favorite breakfast on-the-go!

11. Pan Fried Potatoes

These perfectly fried potatoes are the dinner equivalent of hash browns. Then again, they’re always welcome at breakfast, too. At least in my house.

With that oh-so-good flavor (and smell!) of fried onions and garlic, this recipe is a keeper. Bring a smoked element to your meal with some smoked paprika to surprise and delight your guests.

Fried Potatoes and Onions
These pan-fried potatoes and onions are a great potato side featuring fork-tender, crispy fried potatoes and tasty onions. They can easily complement any breakfast or dinner! The potatoes are a versatile side dish that tastes just as good with your eggs and bacon as with a roasted chicken.
Check out this recipe

12. Cheddar Biscuits

Cheddar Bacon Chive Biscuits are exactly what your quiche meal is missing. This flaky side dish melts in your mouth and can be served at any meal alongside your main.

Try to fill your quiche with complementary fillings without repeating what is in your biscuits. In other words, putting bacon in both might be an overkill. Or not. You’re the chef! 🙂

Cheddar Bacon Chive Biscuits
These cheddar bacon chive biscuits are easy to make and loaded with cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh chives! They are perfect to serve with breakfast or dinner! Savory flavors are found in each bite of these tender, flaky buttermilk biscuits!!

13. Savory Jalapeno Scones

Scones are the British equivalent of biscuits, so you know these are good. With cheddar and jalapeño slices, these scones bring a little of the American southwest to the table.

Depending on your quiche fillings, you might even want to try a different combination. Goat cheese, chives, spinach, feta, Parmesan, and fennel all make tasty options.

These rich and delicious scones can also be made ahead, so make different kinds to serve as a selection with your quiche! You can always freeze your leftovers.

Jalapeno Cheddar Scones
These jalapeno cheddar scones might be cut smaller than my usual sweet scone, but they are mighty in taste and loaded with cheddar and jalapeno flavor. They also happen to be a very popular family favorite that I love to serve with dinners.

14. Sauteed Mushrooms

If you’re looking to add some vegetables, this is a flavor-packed side dish to serve with quiche. I usually associate sauteed mushrooms with dinner, but as with most of these side options, you could really serve them at any meal.

With balsamic vinegar, Parmesan, and brown sugar, these are some of the most flavorful mushrooms you’ll ever taste! They’re definitely a favorite in our house.

Sautéed Balsamic Mushrooms
These sauteed balsamic mushrooms are a quick, easy, and amazingly tasty appetizer or side dish that's ready to serve in under 10 minutes! They're perfect for topping your favorite grilled meats like burgers or steaks, or tossing in some cooked pasta or rice! No matter the way you serve them, the balsamic glaze adds a ton of flavor that everyone will enjoy!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a 9 inch pie dish or tart pan with the uncooked butter pie crust.
  • Cover the pie dough with a round piece of parchment paper. Use baking beads to fill about halfway up the pie pan. *If you do not have baking beads you can use dry beans to fill your crust for blind baking.
  • Place your pie dish or tart pan onto a baking sheet and blind bake the crust for approximately 10 minutes and then remove from oven. When cool enough, remove the baking beads (or beans) and parchment paper from inside the crust.
  • Cut bacon into ¼ inch thick pieces and cook in a frying pan at medium high heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. When the bacon is crisp remove from pan and set bacon aside on a paper towel lined plate to cool.
  • Add the sliced onion to the frying pan and saute for 3-5 minutes until onion is translucent, or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. Remove from heat and combine with bacon and spread half of the bacon and onion in the pre-baked quiche crust.
  • Spread the Gruyere or Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese over the bacon and onion in the pie crust. Top with the remaining half of the bacon and sauteed onion.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper (and Tabasco if using) and whisk them together lightly. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, onions and cheeses. Top with optional butter bits for an extra rich quiche.
  • Return the filled pie dish or tart pan and baking sheet to the oven. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted at the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Serve hot, warm or cold.

    What does this mean:
    Cover the pie dough with a round piece of parchment paper. Use baking beads to fill about halfway up the pie pan. *If you do not have baking beads you can use dry beans to fill your crust for blind baking.
    Place your pie dish or tart pan onto a baking sheet and blind bake the crust for approximately 10 minutes and then remove from oven. When cool enough, remove the baking beads (or beans) and parchment paper from inside the crust.

      This is how to par-bake the quiche crust. It is a commonly used technique to make sure that the crust is partially cooked to prevent a soggy bottom. What you've copied is the instructions on how to do so before filling the crust with the egg mixture.
      The crust is transferred into your pie pan then covered with a sheet of parchment paper. Baking weights (if you have them, if not, then use rice or beans to fill the cavity of your pie crust) are used to hold the pie crust down and prevent it from bubbling while baking. Hope that explains it a bit better!
