Eggs Chesapeake is a classic dish that originated in the Chesapeake Bay region, known for its abundance of fresh seafood. This delectable dish features poached eggs atop a bed of crab meat and English muffins, all smothered in a rich and creamy hollandaise sauce. The addition of succulent crab meat elevates the dish, adding a delightful sweetness and depth of flavor. Renowned chefs in Maryland and Virginia have put their own spin on this dish, incorporating the freshest local crab meat for an authentic taste of the region. For the best version of this dish, seek out restaurants along the Chesapeake Bay where the crab is freshly caught and the hollandaise sauce is expertly crafted. The key to getting this dish right lies in the quality of the crab meat and the perfect execution of the hollandaise sauce, which should be velvety and rich with a hint of tanginess. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate Old Bay seasoning into the hollandaise for a delightful Chesapeake Bay flavor.
