A: We are playing online games together this Saturday night. Do you want to join us?

B: No, thanks. I think we’ve overegged the pudding with the amount of technology we’ve crammed into our daily lives. I’d rather read a novel and enjoy some music alone.

Note: The idiom is used to say that you think somebody has done more than is necessary, or has added unnecessary details to make something seem better or worse than it really is. For example: If you’re telling lies, keep it simple — never overegg the pudding. This phrase first appeared as a British, more specifically, Yorkshire expression in the mid-19th century. It originated as a simple literal phrase alluding to the way that baked foods may be spoiled by using too many eggs, as excessive quantities of egg in a pudding could either make it too rich or cause it not to set or cook correctly.
