Best griddle temp for eggs
The best griddle temp for eggs, whether you are frying or scrambling them, and why cooler is usually better.
In short
For fried or scrambled eggs on a griddle, aim for about 300-325F. Lower is usually better than higher here.
The rough idea
Eggs are one of the easiest things to overcook on a griddle. They usually want less heat than the rest of a breakfast cook.
How to split it
Keep eggs on the coolest part of the griddle, or cook them after the hotter stuff is done and the plate has backed off a bit.
Use the planner
Build an egg layout
Add eggs with bacon, pancakes or hash browns and get a plan that keeps the egg zone cooler.
