Instructions:
1. Boil the Eggs:
Hard boil your eggs until fully cooked. Once done, allow them to cool completely.
2. Prepare the Tulip Shells:
Using a sharp knife, make a cross-shaped cut at the tip of each egg, extending the cuts slightly downward along the sides. This forms the petals of your tulip. Gently scoop out the yolks and set them aside for the filling.
3. Make the Filling:
In a medium bowl, mix the reserved egg yolks with crab meat, cream cheese, a pinch of salt, and paprika until smooth and well blended. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag, or alternatively, use a plastic zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
4. Fill the Egg “Tulips”:
Carefully pipe the prepared filling into each hollow egg, ensuring they’re filled generously to resemble the center of a tulip bloom.
5. Add the Stems:
Use a straw to poke a small hole in the bottom of each stuffed egg. Gently insert a green onion into the hole to create the appearance of a tulip stem, completing your floral creation.
