Ingredients

Crab Cakes

Hollandaise Sauce

Poached Eggs

Home Fries

Preparation

Crab Cakes

1. Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, and beaten egg. Mix gently until just combined.

2. Form the Cakes

Add bread crumbs to the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter.

3. Cook the Cakes

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Hollandaise Sauce

4. Prepare the Sauce

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water.

5. Add Butter

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

Poached Eggs

6. Poach the Eggs

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks, then remove with a slotted spoon.

Home Fries

7. Cook the Potatoes

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly

8. Plate the Dish

On a plate, place a crab cake, then top with a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce, add slices of avocado, and sprinkle Old Bay seasoning on top. Serve with home fries on the side.
