Crab Eggs Benedict### Ingredients

  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat
  • 1/2 cup hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by toasting your English muffins until they’re golden brown. Set them aside and keep warm.
  2. Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar if you have it; this helps the eggs hold their shape.
  3. Crack each egg into a small dish. Gently slide the eggs one at a time into the simmering water. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel.
  4. While the eggs are cooking, heat the crab meat in a small skillet with a little bit of lemon juice, salt, and pepper until it’s warmed through. Be careful not to overcook it.
  5. Now, let’s assemble our eggs benedict! Place half of a toasted English muffin on each plate. On top of each muffin half, add a generous amount of the warmed crab meat.
  6. Next, gently place a poached egg on top of the crab. Finally, drizzle some hollandaise sauce over the eggs. You can garnish with chopped chives for that pop of color and flavor!
  7. Serve it up with a side of fresh fruit or crispy bacon, and you’ve got yourself a brunch masterpiece!

There you have it! A delicious Crab Eggs Benedict that will bring smiles to the breakfast table. Enjoy, and don’t forget to share this goodness with your loved ones!
