Crab Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crab Cakes

   In a bowl, combine crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.

2. 2

   Form and Cook the Crab Cakes

   Shape the mixture into small 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. Remove and keep warm.

3. 3

   Poach the Eggs

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

4. 4

   Make the Hollandaise Sauce

   In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place over a pot of simmering water and whisk until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   Toast the English muffins and place one crab cake on each half. Top with a poached egg and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Serve with your choice of fruit.
