Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Make the Crab Cakes

In a large bowl, combine crab meat, Niman Ranch ham, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined. Form into patties.

2

Cook the Crab Cakes

Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Cook the crab cakes for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from heat and keep warm.

3

Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and whisk continuously until it thickens. Gradually add melted butter while whisking until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.

4

Poach the Eggs

In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into small bowls and slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

5

Assemble the Benedict

Place a crab cake on a plate, top with a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Serve with Centro potatoes or fresh fruit on the side.
