Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 120 grams Lump crabmeat
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove the pot from heat and cover it with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-10 minutes.
Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the shells off carefully once cooled.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a mixing bowl. Place the egg white halves on a serving platter, cut side up.
To the mixing bowl with the yolks, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mash together until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the lump crabmeat, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined without breaking the crab into small pieces.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the crab mixture, slightly mounding the filling on top.
Sprinkle the stuffed eggs with chopped chives and a light dusting of paprika for garnish.
Serve immediately, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
