Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, gently combine the crab meat, Panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the lumps of crab meat.
2
Divide the crab mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round crab cake. Place the crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
3
Poach the eggs by cracking them into a pot of simmering water and cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and drain off any excess water.
4
Toast the English muffins by splitting them in half and placing them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
5
To assemble the dish, place a toasted English muffin half on a plate, top with a crab cake, a poached egg, and a dollop of Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chives and a sprinkle of paprika.
