Appetizer with deviled eggs and crab topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 5 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning, plus extra for sprinkling
- 3 tablespoons frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 2 tsp chopped fresh chives, plus extra for serving
- 3-4 small red potatoes
- 3 tbsp. lump crab meat
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Preparation:
- Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with water to a depth of 1 cm. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool, about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs thoroughly, cut them in half lengthwise, and scrape the yolks into a medium bowl.
- Add mayonnaise, mustard, and Old Bay seasoning to the yolks and mix until smooth. Add the corn and chives, and season with salt to taste. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (large enough to accommodate the corn kernels). Pipe the filling into the egg white halves. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Slice the potatoes into 10 slices, each just under 1 cm thick. Heat 1 cm of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 150°C (300°F). Fry the potatoes for 4 minutes, then transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels.
- Heat oil to 190°C (350°F) and fry the potato slices again until crispy and golden brown, another 3 minutes. Transfer to clean paper towels to drain excess oil and season with salt.
- Place a deviled egg on each fried potato slice. Top with crab meat, some chives, and a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning.
