You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re wondering what to serve with your biscuits and gravy.

In this post, I’ll cover 15 of the most popular biscuit and gravy side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

Beans and greens, crispy bacon, and poached eggs are the ideal side dishes to offer with biscuits and gravy. Simple vegetable sides like grilled asparagus or wilted spinach are ideal. Serve a glass of homemade orange juice as an alternative.

Ready? Lets jump right in.

Poached eggs

Make your weekend breakfasts more delightful by serving poached eggs with biscuits and gravy.

Poaching eggs is a healthy method to prepare them since no fat is required.

When you cut open a poached egg, the runny yolk will combine with your gravy sauce nice!

Downshiftology demonstrates how to prepare a flawlessly poached egg.

Psst fried eggs are great too.

Beans and greens

Some sections of the United States have a New Year’s Eve tradition of biscuits and gravy with black-eyed peas and collard greens.

It is said that eating it would offer you good luck for the future year!

So, if you feel like you need a luck boost, this is the side for you (though I cannot guarantee it will work).

Steamed broccoli

Nothing is simpler to prepare than steamed broccoli.

This green vegetable can be cooked in about 10 minutes and is loaded with nutrients.

You may also add broccolini if you want to make things a bit fancier.

Homemade orange juice

A tall glass of orange juice just made your biscuit and gravy dinner taste even better.

This handmade orange juice, produced with no sugar and freshly squeezed, will cleanse your taste and be very cooling.

It will definitely brighten up your day.

Psst are you in the smooth or bitty camp?

Buttery peas and mushrooms

In a rush?

These 15-minute buttery peas and mushrooms come together quickly.

The delicate mushrooms provide an earthy taste to the flakey buttermilk biscuits and creamy gravy.

And the peas add a pop of color and freshness.

Crispy bacon

Perfectly cooked strips of crispy bacon.

Who can say no to that?

Serve it with biscuits and gravy for a breakfast fit for a king.

Here’s a foolproof method for consistently great crispy bacon.

Cheesy roasted tomatoes

tiny cheesy roasted tomatoes are similar to tiny pizzas but without the crust.

Because of the melty mozzarella (who doesn’t adore cheese?) they’re a certain crowd favorite.

They’ll also go nicely with your biscuits and gravy.

The sweetness of the tomatoes will match the meatiness of the sausage gravy, and the biscuits will absorb the tomato sauce well.

Balsamic arugula salad

Pair your biscuits and gravy with a light side salad to keep them from becoming too heavy.

In my home, this balsamic arugula salad is the go-to side salad.

It’s got spicy arugula, toasted pine nuts, acidic lemon zest, salty parmesan cheese, and a tangy balsamic dressing.

You can easily customize the salad too.

Bacon pieces lend a savory touch, while sliced avocados offer solidity.

Southern fried chicken

Biscuits and gravy with fried chicken on the side is a sumptuous supper combination you won’t soon forget.

Although it may seem weird, the creamy sausage gravy is the ideal dipping sauce for the chicken.

The crispy fried coating contrasts well with the soft and flaky buttermilk biscuits.

It’s basically a (very large) take on chicken and waffles.

Fried green tomatoes

I know Ive already included a tomato side.

But these fried green tomatoes are something quite different!

Green tomatoes have a more acidic, sour taste and a firmer texture, making them suitable for frying.

With the addition of a crunchy panko breadcrumb coating, you’ve got yourself a delectable little snack that will balance off the creamy tastes of your sausage gravy.

Fresh fruit salad

Fruit salad is a healthful, juicy, and refreshing sweet dessert to follow a savory lunch of biscuits and gravy.

Sabrina’s recipe calls for a citrus-honey sauce to complement the natural aromas of the fruits.

If you like a creamier dressing, you may use Greek yogurt.

Add herbs like lavender, lemongrass, or mint to the fruit salad to make it more intriguing.

Roasted asparagus

Roasted asparagus is a vibrant spring side dish that can complement any dinner.

For a Southern spin on eggs benedict, serve it with biscuits and gravy.

It simply takes 5 minutes to prepare and is finished with a spray of lemon to provide zing.

Corned beef hash

Want something hearty and filling?

Biscuits and gravy with a side of corned beef hash will ensure that no one goes hungry.

Serve with poached eggs for added protein, or wilted spinach for some greens.

And a glass of your own orange juice to wash it all down!

This corned beef hash will quickly become a weekend breakfast staple.

Sauteed spinach

Another basic green side, but one of the nicest combinations.

With a decadent, hefty dinner like biscuits and gravy, you want simple and clean.

They also just take a few minutes to prepare. This sautéed spinach dish requires just three ingredients and five minutes to prepare.

Pickled jalapenos

Okay, now for something a little more daring!

Pickled jalapenos have a wonderful crunch and just enough spice to thrill your tongue. But don’t worry, they’re not very hot.

The pickling procedure enhances their inherent sweetness.

The best-pickled jalapenos in town will provide a blast of flavor to your biscuits and gravy.
