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.

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.

DEVILED CRABS



Deviled Crabs image

Deviled crabs are a quintessential Gullah dish similar to crab cakes. I like to serve them in cleaned crab shells for a pretty presentation. Ask your local fishmonger for the crab shells-they may sell them. Or, you can bake the deviled crab in small ovenproof dishes, too.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use large, fresh eggs. Older eggs will have a thinner shell, making them more difficult to peel without breaking.
  • To make peeling the eggs easier, place them in a bowl of cold water as soon as they are cooked. Let them sit for a few minutes before peeling.
  • To make the crab meat filling, use fresh or frozen crab meat. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have any crab meat on hand, you can substitute another type of seafood, such as shrimp, lobster, or tuna.
  • To add a bit of extra flavor to the filling, you can add a dollop of Dijon mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • To make the deviled eggs, simply spoon the filling into the egg whites. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to do this.
  • Garnish the deviled eggs with a sprinkle of paprika, chopped chives, or a dollop of caviar.

Conclusion:

Deviled eggs with crab meat are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this classic dish at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty and elegant appetizer, give deviled eggs with crab meat a try.
