I’ve always loved deviled eggs! I have a hard time stopping myself when there’s a plate full of them in front of me! Well, these deviled eggs are something special. The sweet crabmeat takes that creamy decadence up a notch! There’s no mustard or pickle or even salt in these deviled eggs. You might think that’s strange, but it works – the sweet flavor of the crab really shines through! The eggs are seasoned with just a pinch of white pepper and topped with a caper for a tangy note.
These Crab-Stuffed Deviled Eggs are so creamy and good, they won’t be around for long!
I promise these will disappear in a hurry! If you have a little crabmeat left over you could make a little crab salad for lunch or just scale up the recipe and make more eggs – they won’t go to waste!
