You have to clean the egg off the paint as soon as possible. Left to sit (especially in hot weather or in direct sunlight) the egg will etch its way through the clear coat and into the base colored coat of the paint finish. At that point, the area will have to be repainted to restore the original condition. For this reason, timing is of the essence!
Clean the area without causing any more paint damage. DON'T use paper towels, old rags or any other cloth/applicator that will scratch the surface. Also, don't use glass cleaner which is designed for cleaning glass.
With your car in the shade so that the paint finish is cool to the touch, wash your car with car wash shampoo, or, if your car is already clean, wash the area to be treated with a quick detailer to remove any loose dust or debris in the affected area so you won't cause additional damage.
