Ovaries are covered in a layer of simple cells called the germinal epithelium and a layer of connective-tissue fibers called tunica albuginea.

However, the term "egg" is inaccurate as ovaries house female germ cells called oocytes. An oocyte won't mature into a full-blown egg (ovum) until it has been released from the ovary during ovulation, become fertilized, and completed all the phases of meiosis II!
