Step by Step Method

CRABMEAT & EGGS


Step 1

Saute the crabmeat in butter in a large skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in the salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 2

Lightly grease a large saucepan; add water to a depth of 2 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and maintain a light simmer. Break eggs, one at a time into a saucer. Slip the eggs, one at a time, into the water, holding the saucer close to the water. Simmer 5 minutes or until set. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and trim the eggs, if desired.

Step 3

To serve, spoon a small amount of crabmeat mixture onto 6 individual serving plates. Top each with 2 eggs; spoon remaining crabmeat over the eggs. Serve with warm spicy cream sauce.

SPICY CREAM SAUCE


Step 4

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in brandy and remaining ingredients.

This is great. I cut it down for 2 and had it for our weekly “breakfast for dinner” night. I also served it on toasted English muffins, like eggs benedict. Into my “Best of 2018” book.
