Southern Style Deviled Eggs with Crab Meat

Susan’s Twist on a Family Favorite

Deviled Eggs are always a favorite at any gathering at my house. My friends and family always demand
that I make them the same way my grandmother made them. I added my own twist with the addition of
the Crab Meat topping. Whether they’re served as part of an Easter spread, as a party or potluck
appetizer, or game day snack, they’re sure to disappear quickly.
