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.
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.

As a former McDonald’s and Burger King employee I assure you that Burger King doesn’t have the
faketotally real liquid egg you’re looking for.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. 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.

I’m in the US, where are you? They definitely do not crack eggs for the McMuffin, the eggs come wrapped and shaped already.

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.
