Shredded Wheat And Eggs Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Melt butter in pan on medium. I use one of crepe pans as the edge is low and makes it easy to turn both the shredded wheat and egg. See Photo
  • Run shredded wheat under water for about 10-12 seconds, this is usually enough to get the water into the shredded wheat and become less brittle. See Photo
  • Holding carefully, allow water to drain.
  • Sprinkle a little salt on the side of the shredded wheat that will be cooking first. See Photo
  • Allow to cook until the side is browned per the pic. See Photo
  • Slice some butter and place on the top side before turning. In the pic I forgot and turned it and then turned it back over to show the butter on top.
  • Brown second side then place on a plate. See Photo
  • Cook the egg, sprinkle a little salt and pepper, turn and allow to cook just long enough to cook the white yet keep the yolk runny. See Photo
  • Remove egg from pan and place on the shredded wheat. Break the yolk and spread it around the top of the shredded wheat See Photo. Cut and enjoy.

    I thought my Scotch-Irish grandparents invented this in the early 1900's. It's very easy to make a big batch on a griddle, then fry the eggs separately to each person's taste. We called it "steamed shredded wheat" because it only has a pat of butter on each. Way better than toast. Everybody loves it who has tried it.
