If you don't get it rinsed off quickly before it dries, the paint will be damaged to the extent that it needs to be repainted. Once it dries, the damage is done.
As eggs dry out they start to rot and generate sulphur dioxide. When mixed with water, this forms sulphuric acid. This etches the paint permanently. It needs to be taken down to the bare metal, primed, and repainted.
If someone did this as a "prank", they owe you for the damage to your car. File in small claims court for reimbursement if they refuse to pay. File a police report and press charges. That will wake them up QUICKLY!
This isn't a joke or prank, it's criminal damage. These are NOT friends. As the old saying goes, "With friends like that, who needs enemies?"
I can't overstress the importance of getting the damage repaired quickly. If the damaged paint isn't removed down to the bare metal and repainted, the sulphuric acid will continue to eat through the paint and eventually attack the metal, causing it to rust through. This happened to my Dad's car back in the 1960s and about a year after the egging, we had holes appearing all over the car. It was so bad he had to buy a new car.

was posted 2 hours ago / it is dried - use Baking Soda or ground up rolaids tablets / and (Use Distilled Water!) water to try and get it off, heavy on the soda / tables - it attempts to nutralize the corrosive effect it is NOT guranteed to work. We have use this and a nutralizer in the shop before and then blending work to repair the clear / BUT / we stopped the problem before it went all the way through the clear, once the clearcoat is broken the exterior seal for water is done, and then you need a LOT more work.

put a wet towel on it or leave the car out overnite and if the car is wet early in the morning then you can scrape it off using a plastic scraper. The answer is getting it real wet and soft

see if vinegar will dissolve egg I have been racking my brain trying to think of something,you can try 'castrol super clean' but put some on a spot of paint inside the door or trunk to see what it does to the paint before trying it on the body.
I would say get the cops involved to.
