How freaky is this?

Maria La Frenais got more than she bargained for when she broke an egg for breakfast.

The Glendene resident was about to start a morning fry-up when she made the unusual discovery – an egg inside an egg.

“I cracked it into the pan and out came a small yolk,” she says.

“But to my amazement there was another fully formed egg in the shell.

“I then cracked open the inner egg which had a yolk the same size as the first,” she says.

Ms La Frenais says the egg – described by experts as a freak of nature – was in a tray of supersized free range eggs.

An egg in an egg? Imagine if she had made soft boiled eggs that day instead of fried eggs.
