Breakfast
Our Dungeness Crab Benedict is a rich, coastal twist on a brunch classic. Sweet, tender Dungeness crab is layered over toasted English muffins and topped with perfectly poached eggs and a silky, lemony hollandaise for an elevated dish that’s perfect for slow spring mornings or special occasions.This recipe was created from our passion for seafood, using Premier Catch’s tasty, wild-caught Dungeness Crab.
