1. Cheese

Champagne and cheese are a classic pairing for a reason.

The bubbles in the champagne help to cut through the richness of the cheese, while the creaminess of the cheese can help to soften the acidity of the champagne.

Try pairing Dom Perignon with a variety of cheeses, from sharp cheddar to creamy brie.

2. Crackers

A simple but elegant way to celebrate with Dom Perignon is to serve it with some crisp crackers.

Choose something simple like whole grain or corn crackers, and top them with a little crème fraiche or caviar.

3. Nuts

Nuts are a great way to add flavor and texture to a dish.

They can be served as a standalone snack, as part of a salad, or in a dessert.

Some of my favorite nuts to pair with Dom Perignon include hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios.

4. Dips

Serve Dom Perignon with a variety of dips like baba ghanoush, tzatziki, and chimichurri.

These dips are hearty and can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd.

They also make great appetizers before the main course.

5. Olives

Known for their appearance in Greek and Italian cuisine, olives are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes.

They add flavor, moisture and healthy fats to any dish they’re included in.

Try serving them as part of a salad or as part of a savory pasta dish.

6. Bread

With so many kinds of bread out there, it can be hard to know what to serve with a Dom Perignon.

However, some classics that go great with this bubbly wine are baguettes, croissants, and pain au chocolat.

All of these breads can be topped with butter and jam, or even roasted vegetables like asparagus or broccoli.

7. Soup

Do you have a favorite soup recipe? If so, you’re not alone.

Soup is one of the most popular side dishes out there, and for good reason.

It’s easy to make, it can be made with a variety of ingredients, and it’s incredibly versatile.

Try serving your soup in a bowl or on a plate, and top it with some crunchy bread or fresh vegetables.

8. Salad

Another great way to enjoy this elegant drink is in a salad.

Start by combining diced sweet onion, diced red pepper, chopped fresh parsley, diced celery, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar and olive oil in a bowl.

Season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.

9. Pasta

Pasta is super versatile, and you can serve it in so many different ways.

Try serving it with a creamy sauce, a hearty meat sauce, or a simple tomato sauce.

If you want to get really fancy, try pairing your pasta with some fresh vegetables like broccoli or Brussels sprouts.

10. Rice

Some of the most popular foods to serve with champagne are oysters, sushi, and fried chicken.

But if you’re looking for something a little more unique, try serving it with rice.

It may sound strange, but the nuttiness of the rice pairs perfectly with the bubbles in the champagne.

Plus, it’s a great way to soak up all that deliciousness.

11. Beans

Who says you need caviar to enjoy Dom Perignon?

This bubbly beverage is just as delicious when enjoyed with a simple side of beans.

Black, white, kidney, it doesn’t matter.

Just open a can and enjoy!

12. Lentils

Lentils can be prepared in many kinds of dishes, from soups and stews to salads and side dishes, and they make a great pairing for Dom Perignon.

They are a good source of protein and fiber, and they have a nutty flavor that goes well with the champagne.

You can cook them in water or broth, and they can be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.

13. Vegetables

Dom Perignon is a vintage champagne, and as such, it pairs well with food that is not too heavy.

Grilled or steamed vegetables are another great option.

You can toss vegetables like bell peppers, carrots and zucchini with a little oil and a light seasoning mix.

Then skewer them and place them on the grill or, skip the skewers, wrap them in their own foil packet and place them on the grill or oven rack for a healthy and delicious side.

14. Roasted Asparagus with Lemon and Parsley

This simple side dish is the perfect accompaniment to a glass of Dom Perignon.

The asparagus is roasted in the oven until it is tender and slightly charred.

The lemon and parsley add a bright and fresh flavor to the asparagus.

This dish is healthy, flavorful and easy to make.

15. Crispy Brussels

These are the perfect little bites to go with your bubbly.

They are crispy and salty on the outside, and creamy on the inside.

What’s not to love?

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cut Brussels sprouts in half and toss with olive oil.
  4. Spread on a baking sheet and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese mixture.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.

16. Grilled Pineapple Skewers

For a fun and festive way to serve Dom Perignon, try grilling pineapple skewers!

Simply cut fresh pineapple into chunks, thread onto skewers, and grill for a few minutes until slightly charred.

Serve with the champagne for a delicious and refreshing treat.

17. Bacon Wrapped Dates

Dates are the perfect bite-sized treat, and when they’re wrapped in bacon and roasted, they’re even better.

The sweetness of the dates pairs perfectly with the bubbly champagne.

18. Sautéed Mushrooms with Garlic

Simple and elegant, these sautéed mushrooms are the perfect accompaniment to a glass of Dom Perignon.

They can be made in advance and reheated, making them ideal for entertaining.

All you need is some mushrooms, garlic, butter, and thyme. So good!

19. Crab Cakes

These crispy, savory crab cakes are the perfect accompaniment to a glass of Dom Perignon.

They’re easy to make and can be cooked ahead of time, so all you have to do is pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve.

Serve with a lemon wedge and a dollop of tartar sauce for an extra special treat.

20. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Simple, yet elegant. Grilled cheese sandwiches go great with just about any kind of champagne, but they especially pair well with Dom Perignon.

The rich, creamy flavor of the cheese is a perfect match for the bubbly beverage.

So next time you’re feeling fancy, ditch the wine and go for champagne and grilled cheese instead!
