Biscuit Base

Imitation Krabcakes

Spinach

Sunny-Side-Up Eggs

Jalapeño Hollandaise Sauce

Method

Biscuit Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Biscuit Dough

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.

  2. 2

    Shape and Bake Biscuits

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Imitation Krabcakes

  1. 3

    Make the Krabcakes Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix until well combined.

  2. 4

    Form and Cook Krabcakes

    Shape the mixture into patties. In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Spinach

  1. 5

    Sauté the Spinach

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the fresh spinach. Cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Sunny-Side-Up Eggs

  1. 6

    Cook the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Jalapeño Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 7

    Make the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and whisk continuously. Gradually add melted butter until the sauce thickens. Stir in diced jalapeño and salt.
