An Extra Egg

The food you are referring to is likely a "side of scrambled eggs" or "over easy eggs" that can be ordered as an additional item in many restaurants across the United States.

A side of scrambled eggs is typically made by beating eggs with a small amount of milk or cream, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and then cooking them over low heat while stirring constantly until they are softly set. The resulting eggs have a creamy and tender texture, making them a popular choice for breakfast or brunch.

Over easy eggs, on the other hand, are fried eggs that are cooked on both sides but have a runny yolk. To make over easy eggs, a small amount of butter or oil is heated in a non-stick skillet, and then the eggs are cracked into the pan and cooked until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. The eggs are then carefully flipped over and cooked for just a few seconds on the other side before being served.

Both of these types of eggs can be ordered as a side dish or additional item in many restaurants across the United States, particularly those that serve breakfast or brunch. They are a versatile and affordable option that can be paired with a variety of other dishes, such as toast, bacon, or hash browns.
