Dive into a delightful culinary journey with our exquisite Crab Deviled Eggs, a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds. These delectable treats, often served as appetizers or party snacks, feature hard-boiled eggs filled with a creamy, crab-infused filling, topped with a sprinkle of paprika or a dollop of caviar for an extra touch of elegance.

In this article, we'll present two irresistible variations of Crab Deviled Eggs – one featuring classic mayonnaise and mustard-based filling, and the other showcasing a tangy avocado and Greek yogurt filling. Both recipes are easy to follow and require minimal ingredients, ensuring a hassle-free cooking experience.

Our first recipe stays true to the traditional deviled egg filling, combining mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar for a rich and creamy base. We'll elevate this classic by incorporating succulent crab meat, ensuring each bite bursts with briny, oceanic flavors.

For those seeking a lighter, yet equally flavorful option, our second recipe introduces a refreshing twist. We'll utilize creamy avocado, tangy Greek yogurt, and a hint of lemon juice to create a filling that's both light and luscious. The avocado adds a velvety texture and healthy fats, while the Greek yogurt provides a tangy balance to the crab meat's sweetness.

Here are our top 11 tried and tested recipes!

STEAK AND CRAB DEVILED EGGS



Steak and Crab Deviled Eggs image

Provided by Wanna Make This?

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 24 deviled eggs

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large eggs
4 ounces sirloin steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup lump crabmeat, drained, picked through for shell or cartilage, and finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped chives
2 teaspoons chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium pot, add enough water to cover by 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Peel them one at a time by filling a mason jar about 1/3 full with water, adding an egg, sealing the jar and shaking it until the shell is cracked. Remove the egg from the jar and carefully peel away the shell. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
  • Meanwhile, slice the steak into 1/4-inch-thick strips and season it with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the steak and cook until cooked through and crispy on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Cool and finely chop the steak.
  • Split the cooled eggs in half lengthwise using a damp cloth to wet your knife; clean the knife on the cloth after splitting each egg. Pop the yolks out into a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper to the yolks and whisk until smooth. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Set aside 1 tablespoon of the steak for garnishing the eggs; fold the rest of the steak and the crabmeat into the yolk mixture. Fill a disposable piping bag with the yolk mixture and snip off the end to create a large hole. Pipe the filling evenly into each of the egg white halves. Sprinkle herbs and the reserved steak on top of the filled eggs and serve.
