Crab Cakes & Eggs Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cakes

    In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Crab Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Roast the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.

  4. 4

    Grill the Vegetables

    While the potatoes are roasting, grill mixed vegetables until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a crab cake, top with a poached egg, and serve alongside roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables.
