Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine

Sparkling Wine are my top picks for Baked Egg. Even if you aren't making mimosas, sparkling wine is great with eggs for two reasons. One, if you're eating eggs early in the day, sparkling wine has less alcohol. Secondly, it cleanses the palate, which is important since yolk is known to coat the palate. One wine you could try is Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut with Isothermic Gift Bag. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 70 dollars.

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut with Isothermic Gift Bag

The isothermic bag that keeps a bottle of Yellow Label cold for up to two hours. The perfect gift as it's extremely versatile and can be folded and carried in your bag!A Champagne House is eventually judged on the quality of its Brut Non Vintage. It is in the making of such a wine that the true Art of Champagne blending reveals itself.This is an art in which the House of Veuve Clicquot excels. Our Brut Yellow Label reflects the superb vineyards we own and the consistent nature of our House style.The predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine.
