NEST EGG

1. A natural or artificial egg placed in a nest to encourage a hen to lay there, rather than in some secluded hiding place. This was done before the days of modern production. The term now means money set aside as a reserve.

2. Piles of stiffly beaten egg whites shaped into nests on toast, with the yolks dropped into the nests and baked.
