1
Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Form the Crab Cakes
Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should have around 4-6 crab cakes, depending on the size.
3
Cook the Crab Cakes
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4
Prepare Poached Eggs
In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into a bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set.
5
Make Hollandaise Sauce
In a double boiler, whisk together 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of melted butter while whisking continuously until thickened and creamy.
6
Assemble the Dish
On a plate, place a crab cake, top it with a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Serve alongside homefries.
