Usage notes
Although the plural form is most often used generically for the dish it is perfectly correct to use the singular when only one egg is used.
Dictionary notes
- American Heritage Dictionary (via answers.com) and MSN Encarta Dictionary cover both senses but only mention the plural spelling.
- Collins Word Exchange has only the sense for the braid on an officer’s cap. It allows both the singular and plural spellings.
- Merriam-Webster Online has no entry.
