Now, when it comes to frying an egg, there are a few key variables to consider. The heat is one of them - you want it to be hot, but not smoking hot. And then there's the oil - you'll want to use just the right amount to grease the pan, but not so much that your egg is drowning in it.
The cooking time is also crucial - too little and your egg will be runny, too much and it'll be overcooked. And don't even get me started on the pan itself - you'll want to use one that's non-stick, or you'll be scrubbing away at the remnants of your egg for hours.
So, what's the ideal temperature for frying an egg? Well, it's a bit of a science experiment, but the general consensus is that medium-high heat is the way to go. That's around 375°F for you temperature nerds out there.
