Crab Eggs Chesapeake with Avocado Toast and Poached Egg
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 8 oz lump crabmeat
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
Instructions
- First, prepare the crab mixture. In a bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Next, prepare the avocado toast. Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown. Mash the ripe avocado and spread it evenly on the toast.
- Now, poach the eggs. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Using a spoon, create a whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- While the eggs are poaching, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the crab mixture and warm it through, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes.
- To assemble, place the avocado toast on a plate, top with the warm crab mixture, and then place a poached egg on top. Season the egg with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
