Seafood Eggs Benny
When you dad grew up on the East coast and his favorite breakfast meal is Eggs Benny you work damn hard to bring the 2 together. And that is exactly what we did. Given the base ingredients for Hollandaise or butter and lemon juice with the eggs … it was quite easy to bring it all to life!
Serving Size: 2
Ingredients
4 Medium Baguette Slices
4 Eggs, poached
1 Cup Crab Meat (or imitation Crab Meat)
3/4 Cup Shrimp, peeled and deveined and cut in 1/2 depending on size
1/2 Cup Small Scallops
1/2 Pack of McCormick’s Hollandaise Sauce, prepared as per packaging
1/2 Cup Green Onion, sliced
2-3 Tsp. of Capers
2-3 Tbsp. Margarine
1-2 Tsp. Lemon Juice
1-2 Tsp. Salt
1-2 Tsp. Pepper
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees. Using a 6-cup muffin tin, spray 4 of them with cooking spray then spoon 1 tbsp. of water into the bottom of all 6. Crack a single egg into 4 of the 6 cups (you still want water in the others so they don’t burn). Bake for 10-12 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare the hollandaise and allow to sit on the stove on LO and lightly toast the baguette slices then set aside.
Heat up and melt the margarine in a pan and add the scallops, shrimp and crab meat. Season with a little salt, pepper & lemon juice.
Continue cooking over medium heat until all 3 portions of seafood are fully cooked. Add a light lemon juice. Also add a tsp of lemon juice to the hollandaise and a little pepper.
Once the eggs are done cooking, begin to prepare the eggs benny. Start with the baguette slices - add an egg to the top of each then evenly separate the seafood mixture on top of each egg.
Drizzle with hollandaise sauce then add capers and green onion and season with a little more pepper. VOILA!
