Black and Blue Crab Deviled Eggs Recipe

by Brian Meagher : 03/22/2017

Deviled eggs with crab meat, blue cheese and blackening seasoning makes for some intense and savory deviled eggs!

Recipe for Black and Blue Crab Deviled Eggs is easy to make

Marilyn announced it was time to make some deviled eggs and it was my turn. Great! But I was tired of my usual “classic” deviled egg recipe.

We differ greatly in what we think are classic deviled eggs – mine are heavy with yellow mustard (and I add even more mustard flavor by using Coleman’s dry mustard too) along with some sweet pickle relish and garnished with either sweet or hot paprika.

Marilyn prefers more mayonnaise and vinegar and sugar in hers. Well, we grew up in different parts of the country.

So I thought of crab deviled eggs (we’ve had them quite often and love them), but I put a twist on them.

Playing on the idea from a local pub that features fantastic black and blue burgers, and the fact that I’ve made a few blackened crab cakes in my day… voilà! Just add deviled eggs! (And omit the burger.)

Old Bay Seasonings has a huge family of spices.

Yup, that is actually a pic from our spice cabinet collection.

Being from Maryland, we’re sort of born with Old Bay in our veins. For this recipe I’m working with their own Old Bay with Blackened Seasoning for these eggs.

Recipe: How to make black and blue crab deviled eggs

Makes 12 servings (double recipe for a dozen eggs)

Ingredients:

  • 6 hard boiled eggs, halved
  • 1/4 c. mayonnaise
  • 1 T. Dijon Mustard
  • 1 t. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 t. dry mustard (Colemans)
  • 1/2 t. juice of fresh lemon
  • 1/2 t. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 T. blue cheese, crumbled, plus additional for garnish
  • 1 t. Old Bay Blackened Seasoning (or your favorite blackening seasoning)
  • 3 – 4 oz crab meat (fresh is best, or good quality canned will work)

Preparation:

1. halve the eggs, remove yolks to a large mixing bowl
2. add and combine all ingredients except crab meat in bowl (taste as you go)
3. gently combine crab meat into mixture
4. spoon mixture into egg halves
5. garnish with extra blue cheese crumbles and sprinkle with blackened seasoning
6. chill for 20 – 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop, serve cold with beer

Notes:

* go easy on the liquids as they will make the filling too thin
* piping the mixture into the eggs is not an option – the chunky crab meat will not work
* use a large spoon to fill and smooth over the filling covering the entire top of the egg half
* these flavors are intense – serve along hearty foods like steaks and burgers
* you’ll have leftover filling – it’s great spread on your favorite crackers

Crab Cake Slider Recipe

by Brian Meagher : 08/24/2015

We first discovered this Maryland crab cake slider recipe at Mutt’s near East New Market, MD. (sadly, no longer in business). Anyway, do you know that the secret to making a business lasts is to create a website? In the online world, your business can survive even after several years as long as you’re able to manage it well. Fortunately, there are Web Design Services now that can help you if you’re not a tech person. Mutt’s would serve them as a dozen sliders with a full sleeve of Saltine crackers – along with a bottle of hot sauce (Louisiana brand I think), and a roll of paper towels.

Served with a side of cucumber-tomato salad.

It’s been our go-to crab cake recipe ever since.

Folks may want to make bigger crab cakes and broil them (go for it!), but these crispy slider-sized crab cakes are our favorite way to make them.

Crab Cake Sliders Recipe

Makes 12-16 Crab cake sliders

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 Tbs Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Prepared Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard (Colemans)
  • 2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 2 tsp dry parsley flakes
  • 12-14 crushed Ritz crackers
  • One pound crab meat (lump is best, but special works fine as well)
  • Canola oil

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, both mustards, Old Bay and parsley.
  2. Stir in the crushed Ritz crackers. (Add more crackers if mixture is too wet)
  3. Once blended, gently fold in the crab meat.
  4. Form into patties about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2″ thick.
  5. Place patties on waxed or parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in freezer to flash freeze for 20-30 minutes.
  6. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch of canola oil til it shimmers, and pan-fry crab sliders on each side until golden brown.
  7. Drain on paper towel and serve warm with saltine crackers, cocktail or tartar sauce.

Cocktail sauce recipe:
1/2 cup Heinz Chili Sauce
1-3 Tbs prepared horseradish, to your heat level preference.
