Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict


Just for you, for breakfast this weekend, a great Northwest Eggs Benedict recipe using thick bacon and fresh Dungeness Crab....I just started eating eggs about 5 years ago and now I eat them often, and eggs Benedict with poached eggs are my favorite way to eat them...and homemade buttery hollandaise sauce make them soooo over the top!


start by frying the thick cut bacon....fry over medium heat and fry until crisp and done, but not hard and overcooked....



kinda like this....drain on paper towel....



next cut 4 slices of thick artisan bread and brush with olive oil...



broil until nice and brown on top and then set this aside.....



Now the Hollandaise Sauce......separate 3 egg yolks....put the whites aside for something else...



1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice....



put in blender and add 3 dashes of Tabasco....



melt 2 sticks of butter until very hot and bubbly almost a boil.....



start the blender on low and slowly, ever so slowly through the top of the blender, drizzle the butter.....



the holladaise will emulsify and come together to make the most fantastic buttery sauce ever...set aside...this sauce is meant to be used immediately and at room temperature



make your poached eggs...some people have a real nice egg poachers and some like me do theirs in boiling water...you boil the water and as it is boiling you stir it clockwise and as it is swirling slip the eggs in....it will quickly come back to a boil and after about 2 minutes they are finished....



assembling is the fun part....place the toast...then the bacon...then a good helping of the crab....carefully balance the eggs on top then.............



slowly pour on the hollandaise sauce....all over the eggs...








top with a bit of crumbled bacon and crab....



this may be the very best thing you have ever eaten...Guaranteed Great!!!!!

Cheers to Happy  !!

Harvest Benedict....

This is a Benedict we make at the restaurant...is is wildly popular and very healthy, a geat beginning for these fall days.... It is easy to put together as long as everything is prepped and ready to go so lets get started!

sliced tomato, baby spinach leaves, canadian bacon (or thick sliced bacon) thick sliced mushrooms, avacado slices that are in 1/8's...and now we are ready!

melt the butter for the hollandaise...for directions for the hollandaise click here.......http://cheerstohappy.blogspot.com/search?q=dungeness+crab+benedict

get the eggs ready for the hollandaise....

fry the canadian bacon and mushrooms over medium heat...

poach the eggs to your desired doneness...I am sure that is a word.....

throw the spinach in the pan to wilt a little, it takes about 15 seconds for that to happen...

toast your muffins...and lets start building.....

ok here we go! first the canadian bacon.. then the spinach, then the tomatoe slice, then the mushrooms, then place the acacado wedges, making a little cradle for the eggs....the drizzle with the holladaise.....

So good and healthy and perfect for those fall mornings!
