Is there a term for "mildly scrambled" eggs?
To me that's a &quot;fried egg with a broken yolk&quot;, or fried egg, flipped &amp; broken. I make them a lot, but never thought about a name for them. They go really well in sandwiches, without turning them into a banjo*.
It doesn't qualify as 'scrambled' because it has none of the method of 'regular' scrambled, it's not broken &amp; whisked/stirred outside the pan. It has no salt/pepper/water/milk. It's not heated gently whilst continuing to stir.
It's just a &quot;fried egg with a broken yolk&quot;.
*For why a runny egg sandwich is called a banjo - see Forces.net - Ever Wondered Why It’s Called An ‘Egg Banjo?' [just watch the video, it's short]
For why I don't think it's &quot;country eggs&quot;… imnsho, anything with 'country' tagged on is because no-one knows what else to call it. Google 'country eggs' &amp; you see a million different cheerful 'farmhousey' things you can do with eggs ;)
