Crab Cakes Benedict is a recipe that Rob and I have been making for a few years now, and it is always one of the breakfasts I look forward to. In order to make this recipe Whole 30 friendly, I switched up a few ingredients in the crab cakes, and they turned out just as good as I had hoped!
Here's what you'll need;
Ingredients:
-1 8oz. can of crab meat (I use the brand Handy (claw meat.) This runs about $7-$8 and can be found at Whole Food's.)
-2 Tbsp. minced green onions (I never measure this, just add what looks right to you.)
-3 Tbsp. Coconut flour
-1 Tbsp. Almond flour
-2 cloves of garlic minced (I did not have any on hand and substituted 1tsp garlic powder.)
-Salt & Pepper to taste
-2 Eggs (beaten)
-3 Tbsp Coconut Oil (1 Tbsp. is added to the cakes, 2 Tbsp are used to fry the cakes.)

POACHED EGGS:
Step 1: Fill a small pan with water and bring to a low boil. (If you have a poached egg pan, even better!)
Step 2: Add 1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar to the boiling water.
Step 3: Crack the egg and gently drop it into the boiling water, the egg should be fully submerged.
Step 4: Let the egg boil until the egg white turns solid white, and the yolk begins to cook slightly.
