Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Saucepan
  • slotted spoon

Ingredients
  

Crab Cakes

  • 1 pound fresh lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper chopped (any color)
  • 2 large eggs divided
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning

Hollandaise Sauce

  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 4 egg yolks

Benedict

  • 4 English muffins
  • 8 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Make crab cakes mixture: In a mixing bowl add the crab meat, bell peppers, one beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, mayo, garlic, cilantro and salt and pepper. Gently stir just until blended. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to overnight.
  • Form into discs: Beat the remaining egg and add to a shallow dish. Add the panko bread crumbs to another dish. Spoon about ⅓ cup of the mixture into your palm and flatten into a small disc, about 3 inches in diameter.
