Prepare the Eggs: Commence the process by boiling the eggs until they reach a state of firmness. After cooking, put them aside to cool.
Prepare the Eggs: Using a sharp knife, make a precise cross-shaped cut at the top of each egg, ensuring that the incision extends slightly down the sides. This step will generate the individual segments that form the petals of your tulip. Carefully separate the yolk and put it aside.
Prepare the Filling: In a moderate-sized bowl, combine the egg yolks, crab meat, cream cheese, a little amount of salt, and paprika. Mix until the mixture achieves a smooth and well mixed consistency. Transfer this filling into a pastry bag. If a piping bag is not accessible, a Ziploc bag with one corner cut off might serve as a suitable alternative.
Refill the Eggs: Use a piping bag to transfer the yolk mixture back into the hollow spaces of the hard-boiled eggs, ensuring that they are filled amply to form the central part of the tulip shape.
Generate the Stems: Utilize a straw to perforate a hole on the underside of each egg that has been filled. Delicately place a green onion into the opening to serve as the tulip’s stem, therefore achieving the desired flowery effect.
