For the Eggs Benedict
  • 8 ounces Bay Lobster Meat Tender and sweet; substitute with crab meat if desired.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: Set up a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice, cooking for about 3-5 minutes until thick and creamy.
  2. Incorporate Butter: Gradually add melted butter while whisking constantly until you have a glossy hollandaise sauce. Adjust consistency with warm water as needed.
  3. Season the Hollandaise: Stir in Cajun spices, mixing well to taste. Set aside in a warm spot.
  4. Toast the Muffins: Cut muffins in half and toast until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Poach the Eggs: Bring water to a gentle simmer, create a whirlpool, and poach eggs for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  6. Assemble and Serve: On each muffin half, layer lobster meat and a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise and serve immediately.
