What it is
Eggs Benedict is poached eggs and hollandaise on a split English muffin. The crab version swaps the usual ham or bacon for crab meat, which changes the dish considerably: it is lighter, and the sweetness of the crab sits against the lemon and capers rather than against smoked pork.
Ours uses Dungeness crab, the crab most associated with the northern California coast, and is one of four benedicts on the menu.
What is in ours
Arugula, lemon, capers, dill.
