Holiday Brunch: Eggs Chesapeake

While breakfast is the most important meal of the day, brunch is arguably the most fun! I have had great times meeting my friends in the city for brunch or exploring new restaurants with my wife while touring different neighborhoods. There is something about a relaxing Sunday and eating at your leisure that makes brunch the most fun meal of the week!

This week was a special brunch. Given the holiday, the girl and I decided to stay home and relax but we were not giving up the meal we love. We made a memorable meal at home and enjoyed the day together. Our dish was based on one served at one of our favorite breakfast/brunch restaurants, “The Chicken or The Egg,” on Long Beach Island. Check them out: http://www.492fowl.com/ - while their style is easygoing and fun, their food is no joke. (Btw: it took all I had not to write ‘no yolk’ there.)

This dish is the perfect mix of flavors. Starting from the bottom, the dish includes a toasted English muffin topped with cheese, a crispy crab cake, and a poached egg. Finally, the dish is topped with rich, creamy hollandaise sauce. Delicious. Paired with perfectly seasoned hash brown potatoes and a kiwi for color and as a nice palette cleanser, it was truly a brunch meal we’ll never forget. Wash it down with a nice, crisp Mimosa. Enjoy.
