Ordered to take off description of eggs? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrambled

I believe this is a double definition.

'ordered to take off' is the first definition.
(as in scrambling aircraft)

'description of eggs?' is the second definition.
(scrambled eggs)

(Other definitions for scrambled that I've seen before include "Climbed awkwardly" , "Thrown together in a disorderly fashion" , "Mixed" , "quickly sent flying" , "Ordered a fighter aircraft to take off immediately" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
