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.
This is a family favorite for us. It's so rich and decadent and why waste the effort making a crab cake when you really just want all that crab.
