Crab Cake Recipe - How To Make Crab Cakes Benedict
Wow guests with a delicious twist to traditional eggs Benedict featuring crab cakes.
Ingredients
Crab Cakes
1 pounds (16 ounces) fresh, frozen or canned crab meat, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs or one large baking potato, cooked and grated
2 large eggs
1/4 cup red or yellow pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup flour (for dredging)
1 1/2 cups Panko or traditional breadcrumbs, optional
1/4 cup canola or olive oil
8 large eggs, poached
Lightened Lemon-Basil Hollandaise Sauce
1/4 cup water or skim milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 slice of white sandwich bread, torn into pieces
1/4 cup butter, melted
Salt to taste
3 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Rinse and drain crab meat well; remove any cartilage. In a large bowl, gently mix together the crab, bread crumbs, one egg, red pepper, mayonnaise, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
Form into 8 patties, adding a little extra mayo if needed to help the mixture hold together. Place a small amount of flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Put the second egg into another shallow dish and mix with a fork. Put the Panko in a third shallow dish.
Dredge patties in flour. For extra crispy crab cakes, dip them in beaten egg to coat, then dredge in Panko or breadcrumbs. Cook patties 5 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, pour water and lemon juice over the bread cubes; let stand for 5 minutes until the bread absorbs all the liquid and becomes mushy. In a blender or food processor, mix the soaked bread until it turns into a paste. While processor is running drizzle in warm melted butter; process until mixture thickens slightly. Taste and add salt if necessary. Add basil leaves and pulse a few times until the basil is chopped and incorporated.
Serve poached eggs on top of the crab cakes, lightly drizzled with hollandaise sauce.
