Method
Crab Cakes Preparation
Mix Crab Cake Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine.
Bearnaise Sauce Preparation
Prepare the Bearnaise Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, shallot, and half of the tarragon. Heat over medium heat until reduced by half. Strain into a bowl and let cool.
Make the Sauce
In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and the vinegar reduction over a pot of simmering water. Gradually add melted butter while whisking until thickened. Stir in remaining tarragon, salt, and pepper.
Poaching Eggs
Poach the Eggs
Bring water and vinegar to a gentle simmer in a saucepan. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Breakfast Potatoes Preparation
Cook the Potatoes
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
