The roasted egg symbolizes the Hagigah-offering which was offered up in the Temple. Another reason for an egg is that it symbolizes mourning for the destruction of the Temple. Round foods represent mourning (Rashi commentary, Genesis 25:30). See also:

The hard-boiled egg, which is slightly roasted after being boiled, symbolizes the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night. Although it was a meat-offering, the chagigah is commemorated by an egg, a symbol of mourning for the destruction.See also: all about Passover and the Seder

The roasted (not baked) egg is to remember that besides the Pesach-offering, there was also a Chagigah offering (a type of sacrifice offered on festivals).

What new meaning did Jesus give to the Passover meal?

Our Blessed Lord used the occasion of the Passover to institute the Lord's Supper: the most Holy Eucharist, commonly known as the Mass. The meaning that He gave to it came the following day, on Good Friday, when He offered His life on the cross for the redemption and salvation of all of us. Thus the meaning that He gave it was the sacrifice of Himself upon the cross. This meaning was always there as the old Passover meal re-presented the Passover in Egypt when God saved His people which was to foreshadow the great Passover when God saved His people through the wood of the cross.
