So far, I found this:

 

My mother left her collection of about 30 egg cups to me. She bought many during her travels to Europe. Most of them are pottery, but some are glass and a few are plastic. When were egg cups first made? What makes one more valuable than another?

The origin of the egg cup goes back to King Louis XV of France (1715-1774). He is said to have been the first person to eat a soft-boiled egg by placing it on a small pedestal and whacking off its top. The French soon began making egg cups for everyday household use. The British are credited with being the first to market egg cups as souvenirs. Any egg cup made before 1900 is valuable and can sell for $50 to $200. Most plastic egg cups date from the mid-1900s. Check your egg cups for marks; they might help you date your cups

But it still doesn't answer the question.

Egg History

# Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
According to the bible, the chicken came first: "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, 'Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.'" Genesis 1:10-20.

# Europe has had domesticated hens since 600 B.C.

# Chickens came to the New World with Columbus on his second trip in 1493.

# Eggs were colored, blessed, exchanged and eaten as part of the rites of spring long before Christian times.

# While it is customary to throw rice at weddings in many countries, French brides break an egg on the threshold of their new home before stepping in- for luck and healthy babies.

# At the time of the French Revolution, the clever French already knew 685 different ways of preparing eggs.

I was on the phone so I missed the topic.

Man!

I can't find anything. I even asked Jeeves and all he came up with was broken links or references to the first easter egg

I guess whoever first decided to eat an egg is too ashamed to fess up!
