WOLFGANG PUCK'S CRAB CAKES BENEDICT RECIPE

Steps:

• In a 10-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and saute, stirring frequently, until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a mixing bowl and leave to cool. Meanwhile, add the cream and jalapeno to the skillet and simmer briskly, stirring frequently, until the cream has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add to the vegetables and leave to cool for about 15 minutes. Stir the chives, dill, parsley, thyme, salt, and cayenne pepper into the mixture. Stir in the egg and half each of the breadcrumbs and almonds. Gently fold in the crabmeat; the mixture should be lumpy. On a plate, stir together the remaining breadcrumbs and almonds. With clean hands, divide the mixture into 12 equal cakes, each about the diameter of an English muffin. As you form each cake, gently press both sides into the breadcrumb-almond mixture to coat well; then, transfer to a baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. Before cooking, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Put 2 tablespoons each of butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted completely, add half of the crab cakes. Saute until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, turning them carefully with a spatula. Transfer to a baking dish and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining crab cakes. When the crab cakes are almost done cooking, toast the English muffins. Spread very lightly with a little of the butter and place 1 or 2 muffin halves cut side up on each serving plate. While the crab cakes are cooking, poach the eggs. In a large, deep saute pan, bring 2-1/2 inches of water to a full boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a bare simmer, with only small, infrequent bubbles. Add the vinegar and a little salt to the water. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl, making sure the yolk remains unbroken. Gently slip the egg into the water, using a spoon to make sure the egg is completely immersed. Repeat with as many eggs as will fit without crowding. Poach 3 minutes for runny yolks, 5 minutes for firmer. When the eggs are done, use a slotted spoon to lift them gently from the water, transferring to paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to drain. Place a crab cake on top of each muffin half. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each crab cake. Garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
