Ingredients

  • 2 split English muffins
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooked bay lobster meat
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish
  • For the Cajun Hollandaise:
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper, optional
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the English muffins until golden and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add lobster meat, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Warm gently and set aside.
  3. To make the Cajun hollandaise, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler until slightly thickened.
  4. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking constantly until sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir in Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne if using, and salt to taste. Remove from heat.
  6. Poach eggs in simmering water with a splash of vinegar for 3–4 minutes until whites are set and yolks remain runny.
  7. Assemble: Place lobster mixture on each muffin half, top with a poached egg, and spoon Cajun hollandaise over the top.
  8. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Warm the lobster gently to prevent overcooking.
  • Use a blender to make hollandaise for a faster method.
  • Prep components like lobster and muffins ahead for easier brunch assembly.
  • Adjust cayenne to control heat level.
  • Garnish with chives, parsley, or even microgreens for a fresh touch.
