Ingredients for White Tulip Deviled Eggs
- Eggs
- Crab meat
- Cream cheese
- Green onions
- Paprika
- Salt
Directions
- Boil the Eggs: Start by hard boiling your eggs until they are perfectly cooked. Once done, set them aside to cool.
- Prepare the Eggs: Take a sharp knife and carefully cut a cross at the top of each egg, extending the incision slightly down the sides. This will create the petals of your tulip. Gently remove the yolk and set it aside.
- Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, blend the egg yolks, crab meat, cream cheese, a dash of salt, and paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Scoop this filling into a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, a Ziploc bag with one corner snipped off will work just as well.
- Fill the Eggs: Pipe the yolk mixture back into the cavities of the hard-boiled eggs, filling them generously to create the center of your tulips.
- Create the Stems: Use a straw to puncture a hole in the bottom of each filled egg. Carefully insert a green onion into the hole to act as the tulip stem, completing the floral illusion.
Presentation Tips
- Display Creatively: Arrange your tulip eggs on a platter covered with kale or lettuce leaves to mimic a garden, enhancing the bouquet effect.
- Add Color: For a more vibrant bouquet, consider adding a drop of natural food coloring to the yolk mixture, creating a variety of tulip colors.
- Serve with Style: Complement your deviled egg bouquet with other bite-sized appetizers or a selection of dips to round out your snack table.
