Notes
Storage & Leftovers
Crab Deviled Eggs are delicate and best enjoyed fresh when making them, however, you can eat leftovers that are kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
Cooked and peeled hard-boiled eggs have a short safe storage life so it's important to eat hard-boiled eggs that have been taken out of the shell within two days of cooking them. You cannot freeze deviled eggs, including these Crab Deviled Eggs.
Make Ahead Tips Crab Deviled eggs are best enjoyed the same day you make them, but there is a trick to preparing them ahead of time. All you do is boil your eggs and slice them in half and then store the egg whites carefully in the fridge in an airtight container. Next, make the egg joke filling and transfer it into your piping bag or a ziplock bag for storage. Take the egg whites and filling to your party and quickly finish assembling them when you are there. You still only want to do this one or two days (no more) before your party for food safety.
