Leeks are good on their own, but if you pickle them and add an egg, you get a fancy appetizer. Leeks have thin layers, and after cooking, they easily absorb everything that gets close to them. So the pickling will happen practically on the fly - during serving. And the egg is to balance the natural spiciness of the onion and the acidity of the marinade.
