I like the McDonald’s breakfast sandwich with a scrambled egg, figured I’d try the Burger King one for the sake of comparison. But they wouldn’t do it with a scrambled egg. “We don’t do that”. I thought their whole shtick was “have it your way?” Guess not.
Burger King breakfast sandwich- no scrambled egg?

you can ask for scrambled egg and mcdonalds and they will give it to you instead of the folded one. Its actually one of the best things to do with your breakfast sandwich order. Back before fast food became laughably expensive I used to do that.

First: gotcha.
Second. You’re probably right. Asinine? Maybe? And that’s why I posted here. Now I know I don’t need to go there for breakfast sandwiches.

As a former McDonald’s and Burger King employee I assure you that Burger King doesn’t have the fake totally real liquid egg you’re looking for. Both companies’ “eggs” are premade into the shapes you see and simply reheated; nobody’s cracking eggs in the kitchen.
But also, both companies are crazy unethical and cause unnecessary animal suffering so I’d recommend not frequenting either.

McDonald’s absolutely cracks eggs for the McMuffin.
For the scrambled egg they use liquid egg and cook it on the griddle. And the folded egg comes precooked and just reheated on the griddle.
Burger King doesn’t have griddles so they get it precooked and frozen.

I worked for them in the US for 10 years more recently then you looks like. They used to do cracked eggs, but I was there when they converted. Now they're just frozen eggs in that shape that are steamed. Same as their "folded" egg this is called "round" egg. Looks exactly the same.
At least I didn't have to wash those horrible circle things anymore

Never said impossible, there were difficult. Each egg had its own container, the device could do 8 at a time if I remember. Each one takes probably a full minute to scrape off all of the egg particles, and then you'd still have to scrub, rinse, and sanitize. That's in addition the the hundred or so other dishes you have to do, and with the eggs needing to be cleaned between each use it would take significant amounts of time. Breakfast dishes was about a 2-2.5 hour task each morning, and those egg dishes were probably 45ish mminutes of that.

Colorado. They were doing it 20 years ago when I worked there and they still do it today.
The round egg on the McMuffin is fresh cracked. The folded egg is precooked and frozen.

Burger King used to have griddles. Worked it myself, long ago. Even served a breakfast platter of scrambled eggs and bacon, and making the eggs for the sandwiches was an art form to get it perfect. Probably when they went downhill in the 2000s they got rid of all that stuff. Just like when Pizza Hut went from actually mixing pan dough to frozen. Damn, that stuff was good.
Earthwormjim91 4 points 15 days ago
How do you propose Burger King scramble eggs? They don’t have a griddle back there.
YetAnotherNerd 1 point 15 days ago
All these other people are saying it’s all just flash-frozen and warmed up on-site, so half a box of scrambled eggs bricks. :)

Well, in fairness, "have it your way" is about toppings and combinations, not cooking methods. They also won't throw a big meat into the fryer for you, or run fries through the broiler.
But if you asked for your breakfast sandwich with something that's on the line, but not usually put on it, chances are high they'd do it. You'd be unlikely to get them to put something on that isn't already available on the various stations though. Like, you ain't getting an egg on your whopper because none of the eggs are at hand. They'd have to go get some out of the freezer. But if you wanted tartar sauce on it, chances are high that they would, though it might take a manager figuring out how to ring it up.

I sure would have back in the day :)

I get the croissant. The egg looks scrambled to me. Maybe it is frozen before but it definitely isn't a fried egg.
YetAnotherNerd 1 point 13 days ago
That would be incredibly fitting, seeing how much I’ve been downvoted on this, if they had it the whole time, and just couldn’t properly state that the egg was scrambled.

Trying it this weekend! Thank you! Above and beyond!
YetAnotherNerd 1 point 6 days ago
Yup! It’s scrambled by default, the person taking the order just didn’t explain it well. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

just eating corpo slop full of the suffering of other beings and then complaining it wasn't exactly what you'd hoped for. such bizarre and tone deaf privilege.

First, McDonalds isn't scrambled, it's a frozen folded piece of egg that they reheat. They do scramble d for their breakfast platters but that's it.
Second, really doesn't sound like you know how fast food works, and really all of it is just clever reuses of the same basic ingredients reheated in other ways. If you haven't, some good life experience is to work fast food for a short time. You get to learn how horrible people are (and how asinine complaints like this are), while also learning what it's like to work under a massive corporation.
