Preparation
For the mango cream sauce
Step One
4 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour, 1 cup cream
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fragrant but does not change color. Add the cream and whisk until the mixture is well combined.
Step Two
1 mango, 1/4 cup red pepper, 1/4 cup cilantro, and salt and pepper
Reserve ½ cup of the mango. Add the red pepper, cilantro, remaining mango, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick but smooth and the ingredients are cooked through. You may need to whisk the mixture from time to time to keep it from separating. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside until ready to serve. Gently reheat just before serving if necessary.
For the Crab Cake Benedict
Step One
2 eggs, 2 tsp water, egg wash, corn chips
In a small bowl, whisk 2 of the eggs with 2 teaspoons water. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of each crab cake with the egg wash. Dip each crab cake in the corn chips, coating both sides. Set the crab cakes aside on large plates.
Step Two
olive oil, crab cakes
In a large skillet, heat 1 inch of oil over medium heat. Add the crab cakes, in batches if necessary, cooking until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side, adding more oil to the pan for a second batch if necessary. As the crab cakes are ready, transfer them to a tray and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Step Three
6 eggs, 2 qrts cold water, 1 tbsp distilled white vinegar, 1 tbsp salt
Crack your remaining 6 eggs into individual ramekins. Put 2 quarts of cold water and 1 tbsp. distilled white vinegar in your poaching pot and start to bring it to a boil. Once boiled, add 1 tbsp. salt to your water and stir. Reduce your heat so your water is trembling, but not boiling. Swirl the water a few times with a large spoon. While the water is still swirling, gently pour each egg into the water individually. Cook 4 minutes for a soft yolk. Use a slatted spoon to remove the eggs from the water.
Step Four
3 English muffins
Split the English muffins in half and toast them.
To Serve
Step One
Put 1 English muffin half on each plate. Top each English muffin with a crab cake. Place a poached egg over each crab cake. Top with the mango sauce and garnish with the reserved mango and the parsley. Serve immediately.
