Step-by-Step Guide to Making Crab Eggs Benedict with Caviar at Home .
You’ll need crab meat, eggs, English muffins, caviar, lemon juice, butter, vinegar, and seasonings like salt and pepper. Having everything prepared ensures a smooth cooking experience.
Cook or use pre-cooked crab meat. Gently heat it in a skillet with a little butter, adding salt and pepper for flavor. Keep the crab warm until you're ready to assemble.
To make perfect poached eggs, bring a pot of water with a splash of vinegar to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into individual bowls and gently slide them into the water, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.
Whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, and butter together over a double boiler or heatproof bowl. Gradually add melted butter while whisking to create a thick and creamy sauce. Season with salt and a dash of cayenne pepper for extra flavor.
Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden and crispy. These will serve as the base for your Eggs Benedict.
Start by placing a toasted muffin half on each plate. Top with a layer of warmed crab meat, followed by a poached egg. Spoon the hollandaise sauce generously over the top.
Finish the dish by adding a small spoonful of caviar on top of each egg. The briny taste of caviar complements the richness of the hollandaise and crab meat, adding an extra layer of luxury.
Serve your Crab Eggs Benedict with Caviar immediately while it’s warm. Pair it with fresh herbs or microgreens for an extra touch of elegance. Enjoy the delicate balance of flavors in this indulgent dish.
