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

3 tablespoons shallot, minced
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.
  • Enjoy!

Cold eggs hold their shape better than room-temperature eggs when poaching. If using farm-fresh eggs that have not been refrigerated, chill them for about 1 hour before poaching, if desired.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 large egg yolks, plus 4 whole eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
2 English muffins, split
8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Whisk together lemon juice, Dijon, egg yolks, and 3 tablespoons water in a heatproof bowl. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high. When it boils, reduce heat to medium; simmer until foamy. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan, until foam subsides, butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, and milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to bottom, 2 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Very slowly drizzle into lemon mixture, whisking constantly, then season with salt and pepper. Return to saucepan; set aside.
  • Bring 1 inch water and vinegar to a simmer in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Meanwhile, mash avocado in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toast muffins and spread avocado onto split sides; top with crab. Gently crack eggs into simmering water. Simmer until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon; let drain 30 seconds, then place atop crab. Warm Hollandaise over low, whisking constantly (do not let boil), until thickened slightly and heated through, 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in tarragon, and spoon evenly over eggs. Serve immediately.
