There are eggs mentioned in the Bible, and they are never associated in any way with Jesus' death and resurrection. It is impossible to read the Bible and get anything remotely similar to the idea of dying eggs for Easter.
Although there is no evident relationship between the colored eggs and Jesus' resurrection, Easter is universally celebrated with colored eggs. Easter eggs are not "biblical" in the sense that the Bible makes no mention of them or even suggests that they are a thing.
The Bible And The Food We Eat
God has revealed which foods are suitable for human consumption and which are not. In the Bible, they are distinguished. So yes! The Bible refers to eggs as well.
Verse 1
The riches of the peoples have been discovered by my hand like a nest; similarly to how one gathers abandoned eggs, I have gathered the entire earth; yet, not a single thing moved an inch, opened its lips, or chirped.
Verse 2
You must not take the mother with the young if you come across a bird's nest in a tree or on the ground with young or eggs and the mother sitting on the young or the eggs. 7 You must let the maternity leave, but you may keep the young for yourself so that everything will go well and you will live a long time.
Verse 3
Because she lets the ground warm her eggs, she lays them on the ground.
Pagan Cultures And Decorated Eggs
There is a widespread belief today that Easter eggs originate from some sort of springtime pagan fertility ritual because eggs are the beginning of new lifeand birds lay eggs in the spring. Although there is some logic to this assumption, few can provide any credible historical evidence to support it.
Many different cultures have indeed decorated eggs over the years. There are historical examples of intricate artwork engraved into the thick, hard shells of ostrich eggs in Africa, the Near East, and throughout the Mediterranean. Some cultures, like China, have a long tradition of creating exquisite carvings out of eggshells that have been hollowed out.

Eggs And The Easter Meal
The Jewish Passover celebration gave rise to Easter. Notably, Jews used to eat hard-boiled eggs as part of their customary grief or mourning meals when they experienced a loss. They adopted the traditional Passover Seder plate and, for many Jews in the East, the major Passover supper for similar reasons.
Therefore, even though we lack documents that describe the meals that Christians consumed on Easter, it would not be at all odd if hard-boiled eggs were a regular dish on many Easter tables from an early date (though certainly not dyed or decorated).
