Morphology
The meaning 'a type of noodle made from eggs' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'egg' and 'noodle' as a noun–noun subtype. This compositional pattern (ingredient + food item) is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Egg noodle comes from the simple image of noodles made with egg, which gives them a yellow colour and a richer taste. So the name literally means a 'noodle made with eggs' and explains why we call the wheat-and-egg pasta used in soups and main dishes an egg noodle.
