About egg weight
Eggs are sold by weight class, not by count, which is why baking recipes assume “large”: the USDA large egg is 50 g (without shell), with medium at 44 g and jumbo at 63 g. Swapping a jumbo for a medium adds nearly half an egg's worth of liquid. Use large unless a recipe says otherwise. (Source: USDA FoodData Central.)
