Put the eggs in the wrong place? (7)

I believe the answer is:

mislaid

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

'put the eggs in the' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'wrong place?' is the wordplay.
'wrong' becomes 'mis' (similar in meaning).
'place?' becomes 'laid' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'mis'+'laid'='MISLAID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mislaid that I've seen before include "not to be found?" , "Temporarily lost" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
