Crab Cake Benedict

[DerHusker]

[FONT=&quot]There is a restaurant here in San Diego (it’s actually on Coronado) called the Blue Water Grill. It is [/FONT][FONT=&quot]located over the water in the historic former Hotel Del Coronado boathouse, built in 1887.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Here’s an aerial picture of it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Anyway, they have this dish, Crab Cakes Benedict, on their Brunch menu. Here is a Yelp picture of it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]From their menu: “Poached eggs and crab cakes on a toasted English muffin, with spicy cilantro hollandaise, breakfast potatoes and fresh fruit”.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
It is delicious and I’ve always wanted to recreate it myself.

Monday I made the Crab Cakes. [/FONT]

This evening I started out making up some more Hollandaise sauce[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hollandaise Sauce Ingredients: (Another recipe I followed from Chef John of FoodWishes.com. I added a dash of turmeric, cayenne and white pepper to it and cut [FONT=&quot]Chef John's [/FONT]ingredient amounts in half)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 egg yoke[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 tsp lemon juice[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3/4 stick of melted Unsalted butter[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]salt to taste[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]turmeric, cayenne and white pepper, optional[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Cooked up some hash browns.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Sliced up the fruit.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Toasted up some English muffins. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Poached some eggs, added some minced cilantro to the Hollandaise sauce and plated it up. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Cut out a bite.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Eggs were done a little more that I like but they still were a little runny. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And the required Fork Shot![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Soo Delicious!!! :becky:

Looks like you nailed it!

Has the Blue Water Grill been there a while? I'm pretty sure that I have been there, but it's been a few years.

Very nice!! I love crabcake benedict!! It's one of my go-to fancy breakfast recipes, but I must admit I use packaged hollandaise. It's on my list of stuff to make from scratch

 

[CakeM1x]

Looks great! Did you like it more than the restaurant's version?

Thank you matt. The recipe is posted below the 4th picture. It is a recipe from Chef John of FoodWishes.com and I posted a half version of it as I only had 4 crab cakes to serve and didn't a full recipe. If was fairly easy to make except for a lot of whisking. It was delicious.

Thank you Ron. This location was formally called 1887 on the Bay. Before that it was a Chart House.

It was originally built as the boathouse for the Hotel del Coronado and served that purpose for many years. Over the years it was also the site of the Coronado Yacht Club as well.
