#32 Deviled Eggs with Crabmeat (without mayonnaise)

 

I love eggs. I like 'em boiled, fried, poached and scrambled :)  I've never made Deviled Eggs before, so I searched and found recipes online but, since I don't like mayonnaise, I omitted it and used a less fattening substitute.  I experimented more, I added crab meat. It turned out really well, tastes great so I am sharing the recipe to you. I hope you will like it.

Directions:

1. Boil eggs. 
2. Drain and peel off the shells.
3. Cut all 4 eggs in half length-wise, and remove the cooked yolk (yellow part), set in a bowl. Set the cooked egg whites aside.
4. Using a fork or a spatula, break the cooked egg yolks into small pieces, add the crab meat, light sour cream, mustard and sweet pickle relish. Add a sprinkle of salt or to your taste. Mix well.

Deviled Eggs originated in Rome. Very popular in all of Europe and the United States with so many variations. I will make variations from Sweden, Hungary, Germany and France very soon.
