Lump Crab Benedict

Brown Butter Hollandaise

Home Fries

Method

Lump Crab Benedict

  1. 1

    Prepare Poaching Water

    In a large pot of boiling water, add a dash of vinegar. This helps the eggs hold their shape when poaching.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the boiling water one at a time. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

  3. 3

    Toast English Muffins

    While eggs are poaching, toast the English muffins until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Drain Poached Eggs

    Once the eggs are poached, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Benedict

    Place a toasted English muffin half on a plate, top with a generous portion of lump crab meat, then place a poached egg on top.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Drizzle with brown butter hollandaise and garnish with chopped chives.

Brown Butter Hollandaise

  1. 7

    Brown the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 8

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and frothy. Add the lemon juice and whisk to combine.

  3. 9

    Combine Butter with Egg Yolks

    Slowly drizzle the browned butter into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking until combined and thickened.

  4. 10

    Season the Hollandaise

    Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Set aside and keep warm until ready to serve.

Home Fries

  1. 11

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash and dice the potatoes into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture.

  2. 12

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  3. 13

    Fry Until Golden

    Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

  4. 14

    Serve Home Fries

    Remove from heat and serve alongside the crab benedict.
