Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Arugula

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the arugula and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

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

  3. 3

    Toast the Muffins

    While the eggs are poaching, split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown. Spread butter on each half.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Benedict

    On each toasted muffin half, layer the wilted arugula, followed by a generous portion of Dungeness crab meat. Top each with a poached egg and sprinkle with chopped chives. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
