Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict, welcome to your new favorite breakfast. With a pinch of some of your favorite hot chile powders, this is a very special Benedict breakfast.
There are so many things to talk about with this post. A new method (for me) to make Hollandaise Sauce in a blender, a great new flavor for the Hollandaise Sauce, and a double-yolked egg when I went to make the Hollandaise Sauce.
I guess there’s really only one thing to talk about…The Hollandaise Sauce.
When making the sauce, I cracked open an egg and found a two yolks? Timeliness is critical when making Hollandaise, so no photo of the twins. Have you ever seen a two-yolked egg?
This recipe comes courtesy of my favorite local specialty store Tony’s Market. I subscribe to Tony’s Culinary Club, receive emails for mid-week specials, weekend specials and recipes courtesy Chef Mick.
Throw in all the wonderful products available in their stores and it’s a culinary extravaganza. This recipe came through on an email and I couldn’t wait to give it a try. Let’s take a look.
The crab cakes were a cinch to make. I simply purchased them pre-made at Tony’s takeout dinner section and sautéed them until golden brown.

The new edition of Bon Appetit magazine featured a five-minute method for making Hollandaise Sauce in a blender. I really thought this sounded like a simplified solution to the otherwise finicky stove top production. And it worked like a charm.
Recipe for Blender Hollandaise for Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict
The Verdict: DEElicious. What a wonderful combination of flavors. The blender Hollandaise turned out to be perfectly luscious and creamy in texture and really did look just like Bon Appetit’s photo.
Making the Hollandaise sauce a bit spicy was such a nice compliment to the crab cakes and with the creamy yolk from the poached egg…MUUUUWAAAA. An exquisite combination of flavors.

Crab Cakes Benedict With Spicy Hollandaise Sauce …It’s What’s For Sunday Brunch.
I’ll have to give the blender method a try. This looks yummy!
I made hollandaise using a blender once, years ago, and it was so easy; love this plate, could eat it in a heartbeat!
I’ve never even tasted Hollandaise… isn’t that just ridiculous??? I’ll have to give it a try some weekend. Thanks for the blender tip – it seems like it’d be way easier than on the stove!
You’re welcome Karen. Hollandaise is lemony buttery goody.
Oooh! A sauce! Hollandaise is one I’ve not made, but would love to. I’ve heard about making it in a blender, which just seems so much more ideal than whisking.
Saucy Dipper has never made Hollandaise????? 🙂
