You’re safe if your go-to Waffle House order is scattered, smothers or covered but if eggs are on the menu, get ready to pay a little more.

The 24-hour restaurant chain announced it is tacking on a surcharge of 50 cents per egg. The price hike comes amid soaring egg prices due to shortages caused by an aggressive strain of the avian flu.

“The continuing egg shortage caused by HPAI (bird flu) has caused a dramatic increase in egg prices,” Waffle House said in a statement to CNN. “Customers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions.”

Atlanta-based Waffle House said it is “continuously monitoring egg prices and will adjust or remove the surcharge as market conditions allow.”

The average price for a dozen eggs in the U.S. has increased 50% in the past year, NBC News reported. In the week ending Jan. 18, a dozen eggs cost $5.29, compared to a year ago when they were $3.50. The increase is being blamed on bird flu outbreaks that have caused the slaughter of 13 million hens since December.
