Eggs Benedict with Crabmeat
3 egg yolks
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp red pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
10 tbsp butter
4 English muffins, split
8 slices Canadian bacon, cooked
8 oz lump crab meat
8 poached eggs
Preheat broiler. To prepare hollandaise sauce, whisk egg yolks,
salt and red pepper in top of a double boiler over simmering water
until warm; gradually add lemon juice to egg yolks, stirring constantly.
Add 3 tbsp butter to egg mixture; cool over hot (not boiling) water, stirring
constantly with a sire whisk until butter melts. Add another 3 tbsp butter,
stirring constantly. As sauce thickens, stir in 2 more tbsp butter. Cook
until temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Meanwhile, spread cut sides of muffins with remaining 2 tbsp butter. Broil
3 inches from heat, for 1 minute or until lightly browned. Place a slice of
Canadian bacon and 2 tbsp of crab on each muffin half; top with 1 poached
egg and spoon sauce over the top. Serves 4
