PREPARATION

■ Combine the red onions, parsley, mayonnaise, mustard, seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and egg whites a medium bowl. Gently fold in crabmeat and ¾ cup panko.

■ Taste hollandaise and adjust seasoning with salt and hot pepper sauce. Serve sauce immediately.

■ To assemble Florida Blue Crab Cake Benedict, place one or two slices of tomato on each plate. Season the tomato lightly with salt and pepper. Place a pan-fried egg over each tomato slice.

■ Add a crab cake to the top of each pan-fried egg. Evenly distribute the hollandaise sauce over the top of each crab cake and serve immediately.
