Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict Recipe by Tasty image

Give your brunch game an update with crab cake eggs Benedict. They're easy to assemble, yet sure to impress your guests. We like to use an immersion blender to make fool-proof hollandaise, but if you don't have one, try using an upright blender instead.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

½ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, plus more for garnish, optional
2 cans crab meat, drained and picked for shells
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup all purpose flour, for dusting
¼ cup canola oil
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, melted

  • Poach the eggs: Bring a large pot of water to a simmer over medium heat. Add the vinegar.
  • Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. With a spoon, stir the water in a clockwise direction to create a whirlpool. Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cover the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until egg white is set and yolk is still runny. Remove the egg from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer to a container of cold water to stop the cooking process. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

  • Top each crab cake with a poached egg and drizzle with the hollandaise sauce. Garnish with cayenne, if desired.

CRAB CAKE & EGG SCRAMBLE



Crab Cake & Egg Scramble image

I had a small little crab cake left from Recipe#250972 By Recipe Reader and wanted to do something different with it besides just re-heating it. So the cake, and a few other little ingredients became a very enjoyable breakfast. Unless you use the same recipe as I did for the Crab Cake, you may not get the same taste as I did. But everyone likes to put their own spin on recipes, so that's o.k. :) If desired, serve with your favorite bread or English muffin toasted. Posted to Food.com (a.k.a.
