It depends on what you mean by a serving. The USDA recommendation is for 2-3 servings of protein per day. The average large egg (or the whites of two large eggs) would contribute around 6.3g of protein. This qualifies as one serving. The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute considers the two egg whites to be equivalent to one very lean meat.

Elsewhere, the USDA recommends 0.8 grams of protein per day for each kilogram of body mass. This is around 50g per day for most people. By this measure, one egg providese 12% of the average daily intake of protein, making something like 2.5 eggs one serving. But that would also contribute a significant amount of fat and cholesterol to your diet--fine on occasion, but not a good place to go looking for the bulk of your daily dietary protein needs.
