Elevate Your Mother’s Day Brunch with Crab Benedict
Mother’s Day is a celebration of love, care, and gratitude — and what better way to honor that than with a homemade brunch that feels both luxurious and heartfelt? Enter the Crab Benedict, a dish that combines the comforting richness of classic eggs Benedict with the delicate sweetness of Wild-Caught Alaskan crab. 
This elegant brunch centerpiece layers buttery English muffins, perfectly poached eggs, and silky hollandaise, crowned with tender crab meat for a truly decadent bite. It’s simple enough for a cozy morning at home, yet impressive enough to rival any fine-dining brunch.
Choosing the Right Crab
The secret to an unforgettable crab Benedict starts with quality seafood. We recommend using Wild for Salmon Bairdi Snow Crab or Dungeness Crab — both prized for their delicate, naturally sweet flavor and tender texture.
To prepare:
-
Fully thaw your crab before cooking.
-
Boil gently for 4–5 minutes or until heated through.
-
Remove the meat from the shell and set aside to layer onto your Benedict.
Each bite delivers the perfect balance of creamy hollandaise and ocean-fresh sweetness — a pairing that instantly elevates any brunch table.
