FANCY on the GRIDDLE - Crab Cake Benedict (My FAVORITE Breakfast!)

[@matthewgaffney4312]

That sauce goes on almost everything. Tators, eggs, meat, veggies.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely

[@ericmackie146]

Neal!! You are speaking directly to my heart with crab cakes here. From Maryland so anything crab is a must watch for me

[@TheFlatTopKing]

So dang good.....

[@ericmackie146]

Hey Neal. I finally had time to actually watch the video. And man I’m not one to correct anyone on their cooking. But bell peppers are not a Maryland thing. Being from Maryland it hurts to see crackers(fillers) get used, we hate that here. The more lump crab the better. Jimmy’s famous seafood uses no fillers. Not here to call you out or say anything negative but wanted to just say “we don’t put anything but crab meat and minimal filler/glue in the crab cakes here”. Again love all your videos and just passing information on. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Enjoyrving]

So somebody called this guy out on his cooking skill level….that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard lately.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I definitely took offense...hahahaha

[@markb.1259]

LOL... I'm a huge King of Queens fan. @ 10:58 as Amy reached in to refill the gap where she had stollen a potato... it reminded me of the episode where Doug had stollen all the shrimp off Carrie's plate and then tried to rearrange her vegetables to hide the fact he had stollen all her shrimp!! LOL

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahahaha one of the greatest shows....great combo they are

sounds fantastic for sure....I wouldn't put in on the griddle unless...well...maybe I would...fried 1 and then grilled with charcoal and wood 2...so dang good,...

Neal and Amy. We had the crab cakes this evening. We didn’t do the egg and the sauce but the crab cakes were the best we ever had and we vacation in the outer banks. We are going to Hatteras in September and this will definitely be on the menu. I got my Shake That and My Smash that a few days ago and I used the Smash That on Oklahoma Onion Burgers the other night. Absolutely delicious. Thanks and keep the recipes coming.

Oh my goodness that looks so good, plus you are a great chef. Thank you so much 😊

[@jamesmetzler2031]

I used to make eggs benedict with champagne mimosas for new years day every year. It was our little tradition and it was my wife's favorite breakfast. But crab cake eggs benedict? Wow. You must have had that at the White House because I know the Navy wasnt making food like that. Still, 16 oz of lump crab meat here in Ohio is too rich for my blood. Cant be cheap in Tennessee either. You must be rich! As much as I love seafood, I'm sure this would be my favorite too, if i could afford it. Anyway, it looked absolutely delicious. Keep on rockin it, you too. Love you guys!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey typically I cant either...but that what I tell my Member Program..it allows me to branch off and able to buy things out of my range for content...

Great job Neal !!! Looks very delicious. The taste test was great felt like l could also taste it. Your a great chef 👩‍🍳.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks so much!

[@royordway9157]

Neal, I always say wow, that looks good, but this time I'll say WOW, that looks really really good. I've never been a big crab eater even living on the Coast of Maine, but that is going to change very quickly. I'll be getting some crab meat from a picker or a co-op and will be making this. Native Mainers only buy fresh crabs or lobsters right off the boat or at least from the market that gets fresh daily product. It will be just like your recipe, no poached egg just a fried egg.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Man I have always wanted something like that...have a restaurant and meet the fisherman coming in and picking next days menu right there on the docks...cheers

[@JennErmyMedia]

My wife and her family are from B’More. I’ve been a couple of times. I’ve had some amazing crab and crab cakes there. Yours look really good sir. You’ve inspired me to finally try my own. The brand of Lump crab you got is actually a restaurant. I only see one issue with your cook, what are you doing with that little tiny thing of Old Bay. You shop at Costco. Get the big Old Bay container. I use Old Bay in a lot of stuff. Paprika on top of deviled eggs? Nope, not at my house, Old Bay on top of Deviled eggs. Goes well in Popcorn also.

[@scottsquier6122]

That’s what I am talking about! Those crab cakes are on the menu for tomorrow pending availability of the jumbo lump crab at the Costco! They look amazing!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yes sir....so dang good....ate a cold one when I got home today....ahhahaha

[@scottsquier6122]

What do you think? Make ahead and chill until ready to cook? Or straight to the griddle?

[@scottsquier6122]

Made these as a side for reverse seared ribeyes for a family celebration! They are amazing. Bought two tubs of crab to ensure there were enough to go around. Changed my mind and only made 1 batch. The wife and I will be enjoying crab cakes as the main dish later on this week! One of your best cooks yet Neal!

You said it was probably just a hare overdone…. I disagree. I think it looks absolutely perfect!!!!

I might mandolin my potatoes and try it. Hopefully 🤞, they won’t fall apart.

Matt's Show Notes (it's been a while): 1. That was GBD at its finest. 2. Always hot sauce! 3. Perfect potatoes! I do the same, but have recently been doing them in wagyu tallow. 4. That hollandaise method/recipe is fantastic! 5. The crab cakes would be a perfect appetizer on their own. 6. Runny egg yolks. Sorry, I still love ya! (I've done that too) 7. Amy had a 3 "golly" count... Higher than any recent video. So, you know it was good! 8. 😘

[@victorbenner539]

I love pretty much all eggs Benedict types. This looked great. If I ever ( and I've been talking about doing it for a few years now) get to start making videos one of my favorite Benedicts is my Smoked salmon Benedict. I do a Pacific Northwest style smoked salmon that's somewhat different than what most folks see in the rest of the country. I'm curious what crab species was in that tub. Out here I'd get shot if I used anything but Dungeness, it's what we have. You mentioned that you thought you may have over cooked the cakes a bit. My suggestion is make the cakes a little thiner,not much. It's difficult to match the cooking time both inside and out when they are that thick. Last thing I liked your version of the hollandaise, nice touch. I like to use a immersion blender though. Great video, have a great day. 😊

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks VIctor....the salmon is right up my alley...maybe a few capers and red onion

[@davidmech2956]

[@rjcarter2904]

Beautiful, and I bet they were delicious. Just a thought: the crab cakes were quite thick, and I would be concerned that they would overpower the eggs (after all--it's all about the egg). I often make smoked salmon eggs Benedict, but I've not made it with crab cakes.)

Those crab cakes look amazing. I never once made something and though, "this would be really good if it was harder to make." To me it's about layers of flavor. To me , easy is a side benefit, but hard can be done if needed.

Hey bud....its a Ninja....love it...had it for ten years now...has a bigger container as well..

[@brodyschiess]

@@TheFlatTopKing I picked up a container of lump crab this morning at Costco. Then I went looking for the recipe on your website and I struck out! Come on Amy!!! So here's what I believe you did. Neal's Crab Cakes: Pkg. Costco Lump Crab, drained and picked through for shells. Set aside and make the binder. 1/3 cup mayo 1 tsp worchestire sauce 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 egg 2 dashes cholula 1 cup, club crackers mostly pulverized salt and pepper to taste 1 tsp old bay Mix everything together (EXCEPT for the crab!), then gently fold in the crab being careful to not break up the crab lumps. Loosely pack the crab mixture into a ring mold. Gently press the cakes into panko breadcrumbs. Let the crab cakes set up in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or longer, then shallow fry in butter and avocado oil, browning the cakes on both sides about 3-4 minutes per side. Move to the cooler part of your flattop and continue cooking to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
