That is a hard question! Entropy is a measure of the randomness of particles in a system. Entropy must rise in a closed system. Since there is thermal energy being added there is a possibility that entropy drops in the small open system of an egg. When the egg is actually boild, however, the complex organic proteins break down into simpler materials and entropy increases because the system becomes simpler and more random.
