Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 4 asparagus spears
- ½ cup mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought
- 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ cup canned crab meat (2 ounces)
- Fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)
- ¾ cup Easy Dairy-Free Hollandaise, for garnish (optional)
- Cayenne pepper, for garnish
How to Make It
- Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then immediately cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Allow the eggs to cook in the hot water for 11 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the asparagus
- Remove and discard the tough ends. Cut off the top 3 inches of each spear, and cut the rest on the diagonal into ¾-inch pieces. Place the asparagus in boiling water for 2 minutes, then quickly remove from the pan and rinse in cold water to maintain a bright green color. (Note: A skillet is best for this task, as the spears will fit easily and water boils faster with a larger bottom touching the heat source.)
- After the 11 minutes are up, drain the eggs and rinse them with very cold water for a minute or two to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl (or a food processor); set the whites aside.
- Mash or blend the egg yolks with a fork (or a food processor) until they are the texture of very fine crumbles. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and salt and stir to combine. Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
- Place an asparagus spear top and four deviled eggs on each serving plate. Garnish each deviled egg with a few pieces of canned crabmeat, a few pieces of asparagus, and some sliced basil, if desired. To up the keto level, drizzle each egg with 1½ teaspoons of hollandaise, if desired. Finish with a sprinkling of cayenne pepper.
- Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
