Connie's Poached Eggs on Shredded Wheat

From Connie Bucy, Sallie's wonderful sister in Idaho, comes this simple breakfast dish. Connie's boys are all grown up now, but she says this "is by far my kids' favorite thing to have for breakfast when they come home."

Here's Connie's recipe in narrative form (two variations on the theme):

You just take a shredded wheat and slice it lengthwise in half - put a little butter on the shredded wheat, poach your eggs and put atop the shredded wheat. Another variation of this dish is to put crushed strawberries (already sweetened) on top instead of eggs (was always a special treat when we were young) or, for that matter, you could use any fruit you wanted.
