This is a simple, versatile recipe you can tinker with depending on your own tastes. I use Dungeness crab here, but any crabmeat will do.

Don B on 2021-04-03 (5 stars): Wow, first time I’ve made these; and they were excellent. I love deviled eggs, and I love crab. What a combo!
David on 2021-03-19 (1 stars): This is the first time I’ve been steered wrong with one of your recipes. I think these would be fantastic if you don’t put in the zest and juice from an entire lemon. If you prepare the recipe as written, you end up with a LEMON crab deviled egg. I’m sure a small amount of zest and juice added to the mixture would do nicely. I should have known better. Actually didn’t add all of it, but added far too much. Sorry, not a winning recipe as written. I have loved everything else I’ve prepared for your site. Thank you.
Bianca on 2021-02-11 (5 stars): Excellent, especially if you love crab!
DaveH on 2021-02-07 (5 stars): Excellent! I packed them full to use the filling up. Should have saved some for sandwich spread!
Brad Kent on 2021-02-04 (4 stars): I like the idea. The result was kinda loose. I followed the recipe exactly except for the lemon. Somehow I lost it from the store to my house? I did have a blood orange for the zest and used bottled lemon juice. I will make it again but maybe cut back on the mayonnaise and mustard and up the crab meat. Also had half a ramekin of filling leftover. Might make an "egg salad" sandwich with it.
