Would this be similar to Mitochondrial Transfer, where the offspring has three genetic parents?

Hmm! How would your answer change with/without MT exchange?

I guess it depends on whether the health of the egg is separable from the chromosomes??

Let's pretend it's a perfectly smooth transfer

This is called cytoplasmic inheritance, and the biggest component is mitochondrial DNA. It's rare but not super rare to get genetic disorders in mtDNA. There's more but between two eggs, it would likely be similar. If you don't get a mitochondrial disease, likely nothing.
