Brown-Butter Crab Benedict With Old Bay Hollandaise

• 1 cup (8 oz.) unsalted butter
• 3 large egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces fresh lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 8 large eggs
• 4 English muffins, split and toasted
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1. Prepare the hollandaise: Place butter in a small saucepan over medium-low; cook until completely melted, about 5 minutes. Using a spoon, carefully skim solids off top of melted butter; discard solids. Slowly pour melted butter from pan into a bowl, discarding any remaining solids left in pan.
2. Pour water to a depth of 1 inch into bottom of a double boiler over medium; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer. Combine egg yolks and cold water in the top portion of double boiler. Cook, whisking constantly, until foamy and slightly thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Gradually add 3/4 cup of the clarified butter, about 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until incorporated after each addition and mixture is thickened.
3. Whisk in lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning until blended. (Reserve remaining clarified butter for another use.) Keep hollandaise warm.
4. Prepare the crab: Cook butter in a skillet over medium, stirring often, until butter begins to turn golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add crabmeat, and gently stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Set aside, and keep warm.
5. Prepare the eggs: See "4 Steps to Foolproof Poached Eggs," below.
6. Place 2 muffin halves, cut side up, on each of 4 plates. Divide crabmeat among muffin halves. Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from skillet, and gently place 1 egg on top of crabmeat on each muffin half. Top each serving with 1 to 2 tablespoons hollandaise. Sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve immediately.
