Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"Get the honor of" means "have the privilege to". The speaker here is using "get the honor of" in a joking way, because "eggs" can not receive "privilege". Usually, "get the honor of" or "have the honor of" is used in a formal situation, such as a ceremony. Ex: Today, I have the honor of announcing this year's award winners. Ex: You will get the honor of being president of this club.
