The Eggbot draws with a pen, and consequently it is designed to only draw lines. It does not, on its own, see fills. The guideline that I posted above will allow you to see where the lines are in your drawing, and therefore, what will actually print.
(If you want to fill regions, please see our tutorial on creating filled regions:

If you want to fill a region in with white ink, that’s certainly possible, so long as you have a white pen to use. Otherwise, it sounds like what you really want to do is to use the Path>Difference operation to subtract a white-filled region from a black-filled region.
