Eggs and Base

Crab and Avocado

Hollandaise Sauce

Home Fries

Method

Preparing Home Fries

  1. 1

    Cook Potatoes

    Dice the potatoes into small cubes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until golden and tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Seasoning

    Add chopped onion to the skillet with potatoes and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste. Keep warm while preparing the rest.

Poaching Eggs

  1. 3

    Boil Water

    Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. You can add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape.

  2. 4

    Poach Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if desired. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Preparing Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until just melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 6

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, and water until the mixture is thick and pale.

  3. 7

    Combine and Whisk

    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

Assembling the Benedict

  1. 8

    Toast English Muffins

    While preparing the other components, split and toast the English muffins until golden brown.

  2. 9

    Slice Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.

  3. 10

    Layer Ingredients

    Place each toasted English muffin half on a plate. Top with a generous portion of jumbo lump crab meat, followed by the poached egg, and then the sliced avocado.

  4. 11

    Drizzle with Sauce

    Finally, generously drizzle the prepared hollandaise sauce over the top and serve with home fries on the side.
