Bay Lobster Benedict with a Kick of Cajun Hollandaise

by

Bay Lobster Eggs Benedict with Cajun Hollandaise combines the richness of perfectly poached eggs with the bold flavors of Cajun-spiced lobster and a velvety hollandaise sauce. Each bite delivers a delicious balance of savory and creamy textures, with a little spice from the Cajun seasoning.

  1. Ingredients:
  • 4 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 lb bay lobster meat, cooked and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Start by toasting the English muffin halves and set them aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the lobster meat, Cajun seasoning, and lemon juice, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. To poach the eggs, bring a pot of water to a simmer. Add a splash of vinegar, then carefully crack each egg into a cup and lower it gently into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for soft eggs, or longer if you prefer firmer yolks. Remove and set on a paper towel to drain.
  4. For the hollandaise sauce, whisk the egg yolks and Dijon mustard in a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat. Slowly drizzle the warm cream into the yolk mixture, whisking continuously. Gradually add the melted butter while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Stir in smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Assemble the dish by placing the toasted muffin halves on plates. Spoon the Cajun lobster mixture onto each muffin half, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with Cajun hollandaise sauce and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
