    What to serve with quiche

    Since quiche is packed with protein (from the eggs) and also contains lots of starchy carbs (from the pie crust), the most common choice for a quiche side dish is veggies. The veggie side dishes can be both cooked or raw, simple or complex.

    In addition to veggies, fruit also makes a delicious quiche side dish. Fresh baked muffins, bread and soup are also popular choices!

    • Garden fresh salad
    • Marinated, oven-roasted vegetables
    • Fresh veggie tray with hummus or dip
    • Fruit salad
    • Chopped fresh fruit with chocolate hummus or sweet fruit dip
    • Baked goods like muffins and banana bread
    • Fresh baked bread - sourdough, multigrain, Vegan Garlic Bread, French, No-Knead Overnight Bread... the choices are endless!
    • Fresh baked rolls or biscuits
    • Soup - Creamy or broth based, any type of soup would be delicious!
    • Roasted or home fried potatoes

    Scroll down to see my list of top 10 quiche side dishes!

    Quiche Fillings

    My favorite way to make quiche is with lots of cheese, bacon and broccoli. Quiche is so popular though, because the filling combinations are endless!

    • Different meats - Bacon, ground sausage, turkey bacon, Canadian bacon, ham steaks, deli ham
    • Veggies - Broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes
    • Cheese - Cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, goat, feta
    • Starchy veggies - Potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash

    Quiche Pie Crust

    You actually have a variety of different options when it comes to choosing a pie crust for your quiche!

    • Homemade pie crust
    • Store-bought pie crust
    • Sweet potato pie crust
    • Gluten free pie crust
    • Paleo pie crust

    Difference between a quiche and a frittata

    There are a few key differences between a quiche and a frittata. A quiche is made with a pie crust. A frittata does not have any crust at all. A quiche is baked in a pie pan, while a frittata is baked in a frying pan. A cast iron skillet works really well for making a frittata! Since a frittata does not have a crust, it is usually a very low-carb meal. Quiche is not low-carb because of the crust which is usually made from flour. The main ingredient in both a quiche and a frittata is eggs. In a quiche though, you usually add milk or Greek yogurt in addition to the eggs to give the quiche a light and airy texture. A frittata is usually just eggs which makes a frittata more dense.

    How to make quiche lower in calories

    Since the main ingredient in quiche is eggs, quiche can be really high in fat and calories. Some recipes allow you to substitute out some of the eggs for just egg whites. I have also made quiche before that uses less eggs and adds 0% Greek yogurt instead. Greek yogurt is high in protein and can be low in fat and calories.
