INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole Seasoning}" recipe which
is included in this collection. Mushroom sauce: In a medium saucepan
heat 2 tablespoons of butter. Add mushrooms and shallots and saute for
3 minutes. Add garlic and wine. Boil until reduced by half. Add cream
and 1/4 cup water, bring to a boil and reduce for 3 minutes. Using an
immersion blender, add remaining butter and pulse 5 times. Sauce
should not be smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside in a warm
place. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Crab cakes: Heat butter in a small
saute pan. When it begins to foam, add diced vegetables, season with 1
teaspoon Bayou Blast and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Add crabmeat and egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Season
flour with remaining Creole seasoning. Roll each cake in flour,
shaking off excess. Heat oil in a saute pan. When it ripples, add crab
cakes and cook until golden on bottom side. Flip and transfer pan to
oven to finish cooking while you poach eggs. Poached eggs: Add vinegar
and salt to a large pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to simmering,
and begin stirring water clockwise. Crack eggs, one at a time, into
water. They will take instant form. Cook for 3 minutes. Remove
carefully with a slotted spoon. Pat dry with paper towels. To
assemble: Remove crab cakes from oven and place two on each dinner
plate. Top each cake with an egg. Spoon a generous portion of mushroom
sauce over and garnish with parsley. This recipe yields 2 servings.
