Crab Cakes

Hollandaise Sauce

Method

Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onion, old bay seasoning, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Crab Cakes

    Form the mixture into patties (about 4) and heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume.

  2. 4

    Incorporate Butter

    Slowly drizzle in the melted unsalted butter while whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Toast the English Muffins

    While the crab cakes are cooking, split and toast the English muffins until golden.

  2. 6

    Poach the Eggs

    In a pot of simmering water, poach the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Crab Cake Benedict

    On each toasted English muffin half, place a crab cake, top with a poached egg, drizzle with hollandaise sauce, and sprinkle diced roasted red peppers and parsley for garnish.
