I love this delicious and healthy version of a potato salad. It’s a little heartier than a simple salad for any type of quiche.

Who hasn’t thought of simple French fries to go with a quiche? This version is healthier because it’s oven-baked, yet still crispy!

If you’re serving a quiche with a simple salad, this garlic bread is a little extra that’s sure to please the whole family!
30. Savory Cake (French cake salé)
For me, it’s the perfect combination for brunch or a buffet with friends: a quiche and a savory cake or cake salé in French. Both served with a salad, you get a hearty, varied and delicious meal!
31. Italian Focaccia with Oregano
Try my easy Italian focaccia as a great way to turn your quiche meal into a heartier offering. Focaccia is fun to make because you can vary the toppings and link a theme with your quiche filling! I love making this a side to my filo tart with summer vegetables.
Dips

A classic fruit salad is the perfect follow-on from a savory quiche. I feel that ending hearty dishes with healthy fruit salad creates balance in the meal.
