Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine

Frittata works really well with Sparkling Wine. 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. The Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut (3 Liter Bottle - Jeroboam) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 400 dollars per bottle.
