Add the crab, stir to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in yogurt. Set aside and keep warm.

Cook the eggs and assemble

If you’re scaling up the recipe to serve a larger crowd, cook the eggs in batches of 4. You can either assemble the benedicts as you go or transfer the cooked eggs to a paper towel-lined plate and assemble all together.
