What to Serve With Mini Quiches

I’ve learned that pairing mini quiches with the right accompaniments can transform a simple brunch into something special. For a light and fresh contrast, I love serving them alongside a crisp green salad with peppery arugula, sliced pears, and a light vinaigrette.

When it comes to wine, I find that a chilled Prosecco or crisp Sauvignon Blanc perfectly complements the rich, buttery flavors of the quiche.

Perfect Side Salads

These mini quiches pair beautifully with three classic salad combinations that’ll take your brunch game to the next level. I love tossing fresh ingredients like arugula, pear, and walnuts with a light vinaigrette.

My go-to choices also include a classic Caesar with homemade dressing, and a simple mixed green salad with cherry tomatoes and cucumber that’s perfect for summer.

Best Wine Pairings

When serving these delightful mini quiches at your next gathering, you’ll want to pair them with the perfect wine to complement their rich, savory flavors. I recommend light to medium-bodied wine varieties like Pinot Grigio, Chablis, or a crisp Prosecco.

Their bright, invigorating flavor profiles balance the creamy, buttery notes of the quiche without overpowering the delicate eggs and cheese.
