4 English muffins
 4 ounces crab meat (snow, king, or lobster meat)
 8 eggs
 fresh dill
 hollandaise sauce 
 Poach eggs, then put in a bowl with ice water (they will keep
 overnight in the refrigerator). Toast the muffins. Warm the crab
 meat in the microwave oven or by placing in hot water for a few
 minutes, then squeezing out the excess water.  Place the crab meat
 on the muffins. Top with the eggs heated in hot water for 2 minutes,
 and garnish with the hollandaise sauce and fresh dill. Yield: 4
 servings.
 Hollandaise sauce
 2 egg yolks
 1 tablespoon warm water
 juice of 1/4 lemon
 1/2 cup butter
 dash of cayenne pepper
 Mix the egg yolks, water and lemon juice and whip for 2 minutes
 with a wire whisk. In a double boiler, melt the butter. Put aside
 and keep warm, but not hot. Put the egg mixture in a bowl and set
 on top of the double boiler. Whip constantly with a wire whisk and
 add butter in a steady, very slow stream (otherwise the egg mixture
 will break). The sauce is ready when it reaches the consistency of
 thick molasses. Add the cayenne pepper.
