Shredded Wheat (or Weetabix) Breakfast Scramble
If you're like me, you've never heard of this breakfast before. And it seems weird. I get it. But give it a try.
The richness of the gooey yolks and butter coat the cereal and make a lovely, hearty, filling meal. Using the Weetabix biscuits in the place of Shredded Wheat gives a nuttier flavor. I loved them both, so it's hard to say which you'll like better. Try them both, or try with whichever you have on hand. I loved serving this dish with a fresh sliced tomato, lightly salted.
Shredded Wheat Breakfast Scramble
Recipe by: Slightly adapted from The Mom Food Project
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients:
2 bricks original Shredded Wheat (or 3 Weetabix biscuits)
2 eggs
4 teaspoons butter
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Shred the Shredded Wheat or Weetabix biscuits into a bowl. Place 2 teaspoons of butter on top of it.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Crack two eggs into the skillet and fry them to over-easy (so the yolk will still be runny, but the white is cooked through.) Place cooked eggs over top of the butter and cereal in the bowl. Using two forks, mash the eggs, butter, and cereal all together until well combined. Salt and pepper to taste.
To read about my driving pet peeve (no, not turn signals this time!), make fun of how oblivious I can be (hey now!), and see more photos, please head over to Willow Bird Baking!
