Sunday Times Teaser 2897 – Easter Egg

“Granddad, I’ve got a great big Easter egg in a square box!”. My grandson Liam inspired this Teaser in which I have used non-zero digits then consistently replaced them with letters, using different letters for different digits.
In this way, I have:
EASTER EGG ² BOX
Two of the numbers add to make the third, and if I told you which number was largest you should be able to solve this Teaser.
Send in your BOX.

I tried permuting the digits in ascending and descending order – the latter was much faster than the former.
