Crab Cake Eggs Benny

By: The Crab Place
10 minute prep

Want to put a Chesapeake twist on a classic dish? This Crab Cake Eggs Benedict is a perfect way to enjoy the flavors of the Eastern Shore with your breakfast or brunch.


Traditionally, an Eggs Benedict is made by layering ham, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce on top of an English muffin. We've spruced ours up by replacing the ham and muffin with the sweetness and tenderness of crab found in our Maryland Crab Cakes. They're jam-packed with crab meat, making it an indulgent breakfast or brunch choice. This recipe takes 10 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking.

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Place the crab cakes on wax paper on a baking sheet. Once the oven is preheated, bake the crab cakes for 20 minutes.
  • Prepare a pot of water for the poached eggs by adding the vinegar to the pot and bringing to a low rolling boil.
  • While the crab cakes cook and the water comes to a boil, prepare the hollandaise sauce: In a microwave-safe dish, melt the butter. Set aside. In a blender, mix together the egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper. Slowly add the butter until fully combined.
  • Once the water is at a low boil, prepare to poach the eggs: crack an egg into a small bowl and then use a spoon to swirl the water into a "hurricane". Once swirling, carefully dip the egg into the "eye" of the "hurricane". Let boil for 4-6 minutes depending on how soft you like your egg. Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached egg from the pot.
  • Top your crab cake with avocado, the poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. Bon Appetite!


The star of this benedict is, of course, the succulent crab cake. It provides a rich, flavorful base that perfectly complements the silky hollandaise sauce and the poached egg. It's a luxurious twist on the classic eggs benedict that we're sure you'll love to make over and over this year!
