I came home this afternoon and found 2 white round egg looking object. I have yet to touch it.
I have no clue what it can be. My dragon has never been close to another dragon.
Can someone please tell me what this is???

more than likely an infertile egg. they don't have to be around others to lay eggs.

What do I do with these eggs? Do I just leave them inside the tank?
No please throw them away-- its possible shes going to lay more please make a lay box for her and give her extra calcium please
LAYBOX

potting soil that doesn't have any type of chemicals or fertilizers in it, mixed with sand, etc. Be sure it is at least 10-12 inches deep & that the mix is damp enough to where it will hold up to her making a burrow but not sopping wet to have standing water.

I freeze infertile eggs before i throw them away, just in case.

No, beardies lay and forget the eggs in the wild, they will even eat their own young. She won't care at all

So my beardie has laid 15 infertile eggs since last Thursday. Just laid one this morning.
Does anyone know when this will stop? She also has not eaten anything since this started.
Should I be concerned?

The community's advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you make a laybox for her by chance ? Did she lay a large number at once or has it been 2-3 every day or so ? Is she lethargic at all ? Please post pics to show her body condition and also of her enclosure, that will be helpful.

This is normal. Still offer food but she may not eat it. When she’s done eating you can offer things like scrambled eggs (no seasoning) but only once just to give her more protein. You do need a laying box as well.
