Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh lump crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and parsley. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Form the chilled mixture into six patties, each about 3 inches wide. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a pot, bring water and vinegar to a simmer. Crack eggs into small bowls and gently slide them into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set.
- In a double boiler, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice until thickened. Gradually drizzle in clarified butter while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Add salt and cayenne pepper.
- On each plate, place two crab cakes, top with poached eggs, drizzle with hollandaise, and garnish with parsley.
