Perhaps... but the Torah doesn't specify every last detail of the Seder.... It says certain things should be eaten and certain things should not. However, it says nothing one way or the other on eggs. Having eggs as part the Seder does not reject a commandment, because there is no commandment against it, even as there is nothing that demands it.

Note, however, that eggs symbolize (among other things) mourning in Judaism. That is not part of the pagan tradition you are referring to. Even if it, why couldn't the pagans have borrowed from the Jews, as easily as Jews and Christians borrow from Pagans?

In any case, it's not clear when that symbolism became part of Jewish tradition, but for all we may know, it may have have been part of the Seder in Jesus's time. If so, it may be that Jesus had eggs at the last supper -- or, for that matter, some previous seeder that they had attended before that one.

Eggs are a symbol of mourning among Jews. Again, it's not my religion, but it seems to me that would make the egg a perfect Easter symbol of the suffering and death of Jesus, a Jew, even if you believe he arose again.

Most of the Jewish Seder meal is strictly tradition. Where in scripture are you finding requirements for a seder meal?
