How to Make Eggs Oscar

  1. Preheat your broiler. Toast the English muffin halves lightly.
  2. Prepare the asparagus: Snap off the tough ends and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  3. Poach the eggs: Gently simmer eggs in simmering water for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks, or longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Assemble the Eggs Oscar: Place 2-3 spears of blanched asparagus on each English muffin half. Top with one poached egg, 1 ounce of crab meat, and a generous spoonful of Bearnaise sauce.
  5. Broil for 30-60 seconds, or until the Bearnaise sauce is lightly browned and bubbly.
  6. Serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of homemade hash browns for a truly satisfying meal!
