Deviled Eggs Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Boil the Eggs

   Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.

2. 2

   Cool and Peel

   Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, gently tap and peel the shells under running water.

3. 3

   Prepare the Filling

   Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chili oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mix until smooth and well combined.

4. 4

   Fold in Crab

   Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat into the yolk mixture, being careful not to break up the crab too much.

5. 5

   Fill the Egg Whites

   Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the egg white halves with the crab filling.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika and garnish with chopped fresh chives. Drizzle with additional chili oil if desired. Serve immediately.
