The most decadent breakfast for me is Eggs Benedict. I am in love with hollandaise sauce. All the lemon and butter flavor is perfect with the runny egg yolk. In this recipe for Crab Eggs Benedict, we are adding jumbo lump crab dressed in a stick of butter and Sweet Heat seasoning. It’s ridiculously great.

But wait let me flash back to some details. We’re using a brioche bun, toasted of course. we’re also not using a true poached egg. It’s a pan-poached egg. It’s an easy way to have a soft edge with a runny yolk and no hard pan-fried edges on the white portion of the egg. It’s as close to poached as you can get. And it’s way easier.

Crack 2 eggs away from each other in the pan.

Sprinkle with Sweet Heat.

Add 2 Tbsp of water and place a lid on the pan.

Cook for 2 minutes until the top of the egg is opaque.

Place on a paper towel to drain off the extra water.

Toast the buns.

Top with a bg mound of the buttery crab.

Gently place on the egg.

Pour over the hollandaise.
