Instructions

  1. Pan-fry the crab cakes: heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the crab cakes straight from frozen for 6 to 7 minutes per side, until golden and heated through. Keep warm.
  2. Make the hollandaise: whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy. Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne, then take off the heat.
  3. Poach the eggs: bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the vinegar. Crack each egg into a small cup, swirl the water, and slip the eggs in. Poach for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk, then lift out with a slotted spoon onto paper towel.
  4. Assemble: set a toasted English muffin half on each plate, top with a crab cake, then a poached egg. Spoon over the lemon hollandaise and finish with chopped chives and cracked black pepper.
