Handle good egg in which found second of yolks, most surprising! (10)

I believe the answer is:

broomstick

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'handle' is the definition.
(I know that broomstick is a type of handle)

'good egg in which found second of yolks most surprising' is the wordplay.
'good egg' becomes 'brick' (both can mean a dependable person).
'in which' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'found second of yolks' becomes 'o' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'surprising' indicates an anagram.
'most' is an anagram of 'omst'.
'o'+'omst'='oomst'
'brick' enclosing 'oomst' is 'BROOMSTICK'.
