Instructions
-
Prepare the Eggs: Start by carefully cutting the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. This will allow you to access the yolks easily for mashing.
-
-
Mash the Yolks: Remove the yolks from the egg whites and place them in a mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the yolks until they are crumbly and smooth.
-
Combine Ingredients: To the mashed yolks, add the butter, mayonnaise, dry mustard, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, and salt. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
-
Add Celery: Gently fold in the finely chopped celery, allowing for a bit of crunch that complements the creaminess of the filling.
-
Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the crab yolk mixture. Aim for a generous portion, allowing some of the filling to peak over the edges for an inviting presentation.
-
Garnish and Serve: For a beautiful touch, sprinkle the filled eggs with freshly chopped parsley. This not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the flavor. Serve these delightful Crab Deviled Eggs chilled, and enjoy the compliments that come your way!
These Crab Deviled Eggs are not just a dish; they’re an experience that will transform your gatherings and elevate your culinary repertoire.
