Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Champagne, Bordeaux, White Burgundy

Sparkling Wine, Champagne, and Bordeaux are my top picks for Quiche. 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. You could try Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 24 dollars per bottle.

Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne

From the Chardonnay grapes this sparkler allies freshness, body, and smoothness. The Cremant Brut is dry and offers fine bubbles (1.5 Million/30 minutes - we counted them but you do not have to believe me for this!), hints of flowers at the nose, crisp and fruity on the palate. It is a great Classic for all festive occasions.
