How do you call a scrambled egg that isn't scrambled but in a round/pancake shape?

I can't believe that it took me ~30ish minutes for me to understand the pun.

That's not it either. the Egg McMuffin is yolk surrounded by egg white shaped like a burger? If I remember it correctly.

An omelet, though omelets are usually folded over with cheese and stuff inside

2
ProblemszOP•

That's the thing. It can be considered an omelet but it isn't?

It's like a lazy, half-made omelet

RIght? How is this not the obvious answer, what are we not understanding?

It is a certain type of fried egg. Apparently most have the yolk in the center, but my father always used to fry an egg so somehow the yolk was throughout. u/Problemsz doesn't want an egg with the yolk in the center still.

Ahh. I usually pop the yolk, but you can also 'scramble' the egg in a bowl then fry it u/Problemsz , but i don't think it has a name.

2
ProblemszOP•

but i don't think it has a name.

I can't seem to find a name for it in my own language for it either which is why I decided to r/askreddit.

A plain omelette? An unscrambled egg?

This website calls it "broken / lightly scrambled."

It's fine. it seems to resemble the over hard egg.

Crepe or omlet?

A crepe is a thinner pancake made with other ingredients which one of them happens to be an egg I think.

It's not an omlette because they're "usually" folded over and dressed in vedgetables or meat etc.

Scrambled doesn't denote a shape. It's just an egg where the yolk and white are combined. So I would say you call it a Scrambled egg. Or maybe a Scrambled egg pattym

ProblemszOP•

You say it doesn't denote a shape BUT when I google scrambled egg. It clearly gives me eggs that have been scrambled into tiny pieces.

OK I submit. Your Google search trumps my 6 years of culinary eduction.

Totally playing good sir, it's a quality question I don't really have a good answer for you.

2
ProblemszOP•

Well sorry.

The egg that I was referring to looks like - http://imgur.com/YEWn3UV.

Again totally playing. But in my opinion that looks like the most failed fried egg that has ever happen

I've tried googling and I've asked 4 different people that are from 4 countries and I've searched egg recipe sites and couldn't find the egg that I usually make.

Do you crack the egg in to a bowl or pan, break the yolk and stir it in to the white, and then cook it? It's a scrambled egg.

Do you add cheese, meat and/or veggies? It's an omelette.

No?

  • Grab an egg
  • Grab a bowl
  • Crack egg into a bowl
  • Stir the egg to mix the egg white/yellow
  • Pour it onto the pan
  • Wait a few minutes
  • Flip it on it's back
  • Wait a few minutes
  • Done

It's not a sunny side up. because it has the same color as a scrambled egg but scrambled eggs are "scrambled" and not round shaped (Like the sunny side up)
