Ingredients

  • Salt and pepper - To taste
  • Chives - 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Hollandaise sauce - 1 cup
  • White vinegar - 1 tablespoon
  • English muffins - 4, split and toasted
  • Eggs - 8

  • Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and one egg. Form into 4 patties and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crab cakes until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.
