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

Steps:

  • Make the crab cakes: In a large bowl, whisk together the shallot, parsley, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and lemon zest. salt, pepper and cayenne, if using. Add the crabmeat and fold to combine. Add the panko and mix until just combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Shape the crab mixture into 4 equal patties. Dust the cakes with the flour and shake off any excess.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the canola oil, then fry the crab cakes until golden and crisp, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • 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.
  • Make the hollandaise: Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, and salt to a tall glass or container. Use an immersion blender to pulse a few times to blend together. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Continue to blend until the mixture thickens and lightens in color.
  • Top each crab cake with a poached egg and drizzle with the hollandaise sauce. Garnish with cayenne, if desired.

CRAB CAKE EGGS BENEDICT WITH SAUTEED SPINACH RECIPE - (4/5)



Crab Cake Eggs Benedict with Sauteed Spinach Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-10847

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/3 cup mayonnaise, 3 ounce/80 ml
3 green onions, white and green parts, minced
1/3 cup minced yellow onion, 2 ounce/60 g
1/4 cup finely grated carrot, 1 ounce/30 g
3 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
12 ounces fresh-cooked lump crabmeat, preferably Dungeness, 375 g
1 cup panko, or as needed, 1 1/2 ounce/45 g
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
12 ounces baby spinach, rinsed but not dried
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
8 large eggs
HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup unsalted butter, 8 ounces/250 g

Steps:

  • Prepare the crab cakes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, green onions, yellow onion, carrot, ginger, sesame seeds and lemon juice. Pick over the crabmeat for shell shards and cartilage. Add to the mayonnaise mixture and mix gently until combined. Stir in about 1/2 cup panko, just enough to make the mixture hold its shape when formed into a cake. The exact amount depends on the moisture content of the crab. Season with salt and pepper, to taste Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a thick cake. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup panko in a shallow dish. Coat the cakes evenly with the panko, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour. Make the hollandaise sauce While the crab cakes are sitting, make the hollandaise sauce. In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. With the blender running, slowly add the warm melted butter through the vent in the lid, processing until the sauce is thick and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to thin it. Transfer the hollandaise sauce to a heatproof bowl. Cover and place over (not touching) a saucepan of hot, not simmering water to keep warm until ready to use. Makes about 1 1/2 cups. Saute the Spinach In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. A handful at a time, add the spinach, cooking until the batch wilts before adding another handful. Cook all of the spinach until just wilted, about 1 minute. Drain the spinach in a sieve, pressing gently to remove some, but not all, excess liquid. Season the spinach with salt and pepper. Return to the saucepan and keep warm over very low heat. Cook the crab cakes Line another rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the crab cakes and cook until the undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the cakes and cook until the other sides are golden brown, 2 to 3 more minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to the paper towels to drain briefly. Poach the eggs In a wide saucepan, combine 8 cups water and the vinegar and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low to keep the water at a simmer. Fill a bowl halfway with hot tap water and place it near the stove. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Slip the egg from the bowl into the simmering water. Using a large metal spoon, quickly spoon the egg white back toward the center of the egg to help the egg set in an oval shape. Simmer gently until the egg white is opaque and the egg is just firm enough to hold its shape, 3-4 minutes. Using a large slotted spoon, lift the egg out of the simmering water. Trim off any floppy bits of white and carefully transfer the egg to the bowl of hot water. Repeat to poach the remaining eggs. To serve, place 1 or 2 crab cakes on each plate. Using tongs, top each cake with a mound of spinach. One at a time, using a slotted spoon, remove the poached eggs from the water, resting the bottom of the spoon briefly on a clean kitchen towel to blot excess moisture, and perch an egg on each cake. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of hollandaise over each egg. Serve at once, passing the remaining sauce on the side. Serves 4-8.

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Creole or whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to saute for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool for 5 minutes. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, green onions, grated cheese, parsley, Creole mustard, and juice of 1 lemon. Mix to incorporate. Set the mixture aside.
  • In a food processor with a metal blade, process 1 egg and remaining lemon juice for 1 minute. With the machine running, slowly add 1 cupvegetable oil. The mixture will be thick after all the oil is incorporated. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce, process the mixture to incorporate. Season the mayonnaise with salt and pepper.
  • Fold the cooled sauteed vegetables into the crab mixture. Fold 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise and 3/4 cup of the bread crumbs into the crab mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly. In a shallow bowl, season the flour with 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning and the white pepper. In another bowl, whisk the remaining egg with the water. Finally in 1 bowl, combine the remaining bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning together. Portion the filling into 1/3 cup balls. Form the balls into patties, about 1-inch thick. Pour the remaining 2 1/2 cups oil into a saute pan and heat to 360 degrees F, about 2 minutes. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned flour. Dip the cakes in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned bread crumbs, covering the cakes completely. Gently lay the cakes in the oil and fry for 4 minutes on each side. Remove the cakes from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the cakes with the remaining Creole seasoning. Serve with Maw-Maw's Slaw and Creole Tartar Sauce.
  • Place the white cabbage, red cabbage, greens, red onions, green onions, and parsley in a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and sugar. Mix well. Add the mixture to the greens and toss to mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Serve chilled. The slaw can be made (or chilled) 3 hours ahead.
  • Put the egg, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and green onions in a food processor and puree for 15 seconds. With the processor running, pour the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream. Add the cayenne, mustard, and salt and pulse once or twice to blend. Cover and let sit for 1 hour in the refrigerator before using. Best if used within 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. This will give your crab cakes the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the crab cake mixture. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab cakes. Overcooked crab cakes will be dry and tough.
