Marbled Eggs With Crabmeat Filling Recipes

CRAB-STUFFED DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place cold eggs from refrigerator into a large pot and add enough cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Place over high heat, bring to a simmer, and cover pot once eggs start to move around. Remove from heat and let stand for 17 minutes.
• Drain hot water from pan, cover with lid, and shake pot to lightly crack eggs. Fill pot with cold water, pour off cold water, and refill with more cold water. Let eggs stand in water until cold. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise.
• Separate yolks from egg halves; place yolks into a mixing bowl.
• Place crab meat onto a plate and separate into 2 equal portions, one containing the small bits and one containing the attractive larger pink chunks. Reserve portion containing larger chunks.
• Chop the portion of crab meat with the smaller chunks; add to egg yolks. Mash yolks with a fork. Stir in mayonnaise, tarragon, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
• Transfer yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a medium tip. Pipe crab filling into cavities of egg halves.
• Chop largest crab pieces and place remaining crabmeat into a small bowl. Lightly stir in lemon zest, creme fraiche, Aleppo pepper, and cayenne pepper with a fork. Taste and adjust salt. If mixture seems dry, stir in more creme fraiche. Top each stuffed egg with a generous pinch of crab mixture.
• Sprinkle each deviled egg with a pinch of chives and a light dusting of cayenne pepper. Transfer eggs to a serving platter; refrigerate until serving time.

SLOW SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CRABMEAT AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat in small pan and pour in eggs. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the eggs constantly, lifting up as they start to cook to keep the uncooked eggs on the bottom of the pan. This process takes much patience and a lot more time than regular scrambled eggs. Keep stirring until eggs, finally start to thicken and become creamy in texture. You should not be able to discern any big pieces, just one homogenous mixture. When eggs are cooked, but still creamy, stir in 2 more tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper. While eggs are finishing, melt the teaspoon of butter in another pan and gently warm up the crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper and mix in the chives. Divide the eggs among 4 ramekins, egg shells or toast points and top with the warm crabmeat. This dish is even more heavenly with the addition of minced or shaved truffles. Or substitute wild mushroom for the crabmeat.;
• WILD MUSHROOMS:
• Saute mushrooms lightly in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over eggs.;

TEA-MARBLED EGGS WITH SOY BALSAMIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Cover eggs with cold water by 1 inch in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil, partially covered. Remove from heat and let eggs stand, covered, 10 minutes. Transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water and let stand 5 minutes (to cool). Gently tap shell all over with back of a spoon to lightly crack (do not peel). Do not tap too hard or tea liquid will seep into shell instead of just staining cracks.
• Bring soy sauce, sugar, and water to a boil in saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then add tea bags. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Add eggs (and more water if eggs are not completely covered by liquid) and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let eggs stand in liquid, uncovered, until cool, then chill at least 2 hours. Lift eggs from liquid and peel. Reserve 2 tablespoons cooking liquid and discard remainder.
• Whisk vinegar and reserved cooking liquid into mayonnaise and serve with eggs. Present eggs whole, then quarter for dipping. (Yolks may have a dark ring.)
