What would you make for a quick lunch with a friend?

I have a friend coming over for lunch next week. I'm not overly used to hosting, so this is a bit out of my comfort zone. What should I make for lunch? It's only the two of us and it'll be a reasonably quick catch up as we both have to go back to work afterwards. I'm not sure a "big" dish like a lasagne is appropriate and I don't want anything too complicated. What would you make in this scenario?

Buy a quiche and do a quick salad with that

A crusty loaf with cheese, pate and some grapes.

Scrambled eggs on toast with a bit of pesto to jazz it up, with some salad.

I’d buy a quiche and make some salady bits to go with it.
