Form both hands into a 'U' or 'H' shape by extending your index and middle fingers while keeping the others curled. Bring your hands together in front of your chest, resting the extended fingers of your dominant hand across the extended fingers of your non-dominant hand. Then, move both hands downward and outward in a crisp motion, as if you are cracking an egg open.
Sign 'I', 'eat', 'eggs', and 'morning'. The sign for 'eggs' clearly shows the action of cracking them, which fits perfectly into cooking or eating contexts.
Sign 'We', 'need', 'buy', 'eggs', raising your eyebrows at the end to indicate a yes/no question. The downward cracking motion of 'eggs' should be distinct from the other signs.
Point to the person (She), then sign 'cook' and 'eggs'. The visual nature of the 'eggs' sign pairs naturally with the flipping motion of the 'cook' sign.

Yes, the same sign is used for both the singular 'egg' and the plural 'eggs'. If you need to specify that there are multiple eggs, you can sign a number beforehand or use a sign like 'many'.
Typically, your dominant hand rests on top of your non-dominant hand before you make the cracking motion. However, if you reverse it, you will still be easily understood.
To sign 'Easter egg', you simply combine the sign for 'Easter' (shaking an 'E' handshape) followed by the sign for 'egg'. It's a straightforward combination of the two concepts.
