Kagi's "quick answer" option is this though:

No, you cannot melt an egg.[1][2] When an egg is heated, the proteins inside will begin to cook and solidify rather than melt like ice or butter. However, you can melt chocolate eggs by heating the chocolate slowly until it becomes liquid.[3][4]




I get:

"Yes, an egg can be melted by applying heat.[1][2] The most common method is cooking the egg on the stove or in the microwave until it reaches its melting point and becomes a liquid.[1] However, care must be taken to heat the egg gently and avoid allowing it to overcook, which could produce undesirable textures or safety issues.[3]"


My Kagi Quick Result:

> No, you cannot melt whole eggs.[1] When heated, eggs will coagulate and solidify as the proteins denature and unfold.[1] However, egg yolks and whites can be gently heated to make scrambled eggs or custards without fully solidifying.[2][3]

None of my references are Quora though (maybe because I have it blocked). It references Spruce Eats, Natural Kitchen, and Food & Wine
