Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality crab meat, such as fresh or canned lump crab meat.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs, as this will make them dry and rubbery. For a soft-boiled egg, cook for 7-8 minutes in boiling water. For a hard-boiled egg, cook for 10-12 minutes.
- If you are using canned crab meat, be sure to drain it well before using.
- For a more flavorful filling, add some chopped celery, onion, or sweet pickle relish to the crab mixture.
- If you are serving the deviled eggs as an appetizer, you can garnish them with a sprinkle of paprika, chopped parsley, or chives.
