Method

Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and a large egg. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Add the bread crumbs to the crab mixture and mix until well combined. Form the mixture into patties (about 4-6, depending on size).

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Poached Eggs

  1. 4

    Prepare the Poaching Liquid

    Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water.

  2. 5

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks or longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Lemon Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly.

  2. 7

    Whisk the Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together until slightly thickened.

  3. 8

    Combine and Emulsify

    Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and a pinch of white pepper.

Home Fries

  1. 9

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Dice the onion and bell pepper.

  2. 10

    Cook the Home Fries

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, onion, bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.

English Muffins

  1. 11

    Toast the Muffins

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 12

    Butter the Muffins

    Spread butter on each toasted half.
