Devilled eggs with crab and dill are a delicious take on a classic appetizer. This traditional American dish is made from hard boiled eggs that are shelled, halved and have the yolks removed. The yolk is then mixed with some tasty add ins to create a moreish and mouth-watering bite. They’re a little retro, but we love to bring back a classic. Using a mix of brown and white crabmeat gives the best flavour here, and Tabasco adds a kick of spice to these devilled eggs. When something tastes as good as these do it’s easy to tell why they are a party food classic! Devilled eggs don't have to be filled with crab, you can make vegetarian versions by using smoked paprika and adding chives, chopped jalapenos, or pickles if you like!
