Crab Stuffed Deviled Eggs
Rhea's Rundown
Deviled eggs are an easy go-to for any gathering and this recipe adds amazing flavors and a little heat. Tarragon, shallots, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper blend perfectly with the egg yolk and crabmeat. The recipes suggest adding Dijon mustard, and Old Bay for extra oomph. You can also try substituting basil for the tarragon.
