Directions

Break the cornflakes down into smaller bits. I use a potato masher for this, the old rolling pin & sack trick would work, too.

Melt butter in a small frying pan on medium or medium-high heat. Add egg to frying pan, breaking it up with your implement of choice as it fries. You're aiming for the whites to be fully cooked, the yolk a little less so, so leave the yolk alone at first.

Slop the buttery eggy mixture into the cornflakes, and toss them together until evenly mixed.
