Why would you want to?
It can take anywhere from mere minutes to hours for food to empty out of your stomach into your intestines, where digestion will continue for another 3-6 hrs. You had a lot of protein and probably a good dose of fat, so digestion will go slower. It's harder for the stomach to break down proteins and fat.
Taking a brisk walk will help your body digest faster, but it might also give you cramps, gas, a stomachache, or, if you're unfortunate, you might get a bout of loose stools. Avoid using anything like laxatives to speed up the process, because you can damage your intestines doing that and mess up the rhythm in your heart if you lose too much water.

4 scrambled eggs w/ buttered toast would probably take close to 2-2.5 hours to digest. now the time from digestion to defecation would vary depending on your metabolism, bowel function, amount of daily exercise and the overall health status of the individual but would be less than 24 hours.
technically you can't flush ingested foods from the body, the digestion/defecation process has to run it's natural course.

Exercise and drink in plenty of water - not juice, coffee, but WATER. Also, keep active at all times. Walk around. Get into action before all that turns into fat.

3 hours 1 minute and 17 seconds if you grunt
3 hours 1 minute and 19 seconds if you do not grunt
you control the choice.
