Time 1h12m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large eggs
4 ounces fresh crabmeat, divided
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
1 pinch seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
3 drops Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon creme fraiche, or more to taste
½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, divided
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Place cold eggs from refrigerator into a large pot and add enough cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Place over high heat, bring to a simmer, and cover pot once eggs start to move around. Remove from heat and let stand for 17 minutes.
  • Drain hot water from pan, cover with lid, and shake pot to lightly crack eggs. Fill pot with cold water, pour off cold water, and refill with more cold water. Let eggs stand in water until cold. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise.
  • Separate yolks from egg halves; place yolks into a mixing bowl.
  • Place crab meat onto a plate and separate into 2 equal portions, one containing the small bits and one containing the attractive larger pink chunks. Reserve portion containing larger chunks.
  • Chop the portion of crab meat with the smaller chunks; add to egg yolks. Mash yolks with a fork. Stir in mayonnaise, tarragon, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  • Transfer yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a medium tip. Pipe crab filling into cavities of egg halves.
  • Chop largest crab pieces and place remaining crabmeat into a small bowl. Lightly stir in lemon zest, creme fraiche, Aleppo pepper, and cayenne pepper with a fork. Taste and adjust salt. If mixture seems dry, stir in more creme fraiche. Top each stuffed egg with a generous pinch of crab mixture.
  • Sprinkle each deviled egg with a pinch of chives and a light dusting of cayenne pepper. Transfer eggs to a serving platter; refrigerate until serving time.

Provided by Lee Thayer

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 hard boiled eggs, peeled
250 g crabmeat, 8 oz, fresh, canned, frozen, or imitation
1/3 c mayo, of your choice

1 tsp prepared horseradish

Steps:

  • 1. For the crab meat, after you drain can, place that in a shallow bowl, check for and remove any shell fragments, then flake it apart with a fork. If using imitation crab (crab sticks, my preference), chop the sticks into 1/4 inch pieces and crumble them with your hands.
  • 2. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, remove the yolks to a mixing bowl, mash the yolks with a fork and place the whites on a serving tray, flat side up. Eggs, yolks, and crab all prepped.
  • 3. Add the yolks to the crab meat, and add remaining ingredients.
  • 4. Mix together well.
  • 5. Spoon mixture into the egg whites, top each egg with additional dill for garnish, as desired. Chill for an hour, serve and enjoy.
