I'm not about to post in that abomination of a subthread but I'd love to know how the role of the egg was misinterpreted...if it even did appear in the ingredients list, I agree with whoever said it was supposed to be as an eggwash for the crust.
Although, a strawberry curd would be pretty hot hmmm...

I've just inserted a large frozen strawberry pie into the oven. Elected to do the optional egg wash on the crust. I don't know if I did a very good job, because I didn't have a brush and had to spread with a fork, and the texture seemed particularly eggy. Like I might expect to see fried bits of egg on the surface.
At least I know the interior strawberry was done correctly!

I know it's too late, but you could fold up a paper towel or even use your fingers (which is pretty nice out of context)
