That’s about the only reference that I can recall to breaking eggs. I haven’t heard one about cracked eggs.

So far, it appears that we don’t have a valid answer to the original Q. I’m stymied—sorry.

There’s a great line in Zora Neale Hurston’s book Their Eyes Were Watching God (at least I’m pretty sure it’s in that book), where the main character at the end of her life says, “Put me down easy—I’m a cracked plate.”

Not sure if that’s what you were thinking of, but that’s what I thought of when I read your question!
