Step 1:

How do you stuff eggs with imitation crab and cheese? Gather your ingredients. Hard-boil the eggs ahead of time. If the crab sticks are frozen, thaw them. I added the mayonnaise at the last minute, since the filling came out a bit dry without it. You can add garlic too.
Step 2:

Put the processed cheese in a bowl and mash it with a fork. I used a standard block of processed cheese. Choose a quality cheese rather than a "cheese product" — there should be no vegetable fats in it. That kind is much tastier and better for you.
Step 3:

Halve the boiled, cooled, peeled eggs lengthwise, scoop out the yolks and add them to the cheese, and set the whites aside for now.
Step 4:

Mash the yolks together with the cheese — a fork works well here too.
Step 5:

Wash and dry the dill, chop it finely with a sharp knife, and stir it into the cheese mixture.
Step 6:

Unwrap the imitation crab sticks and chop them as finely as you can.
Step 7:

Add the crab to the filling bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, but go easy — both the cheese and the crab are already fairly salty.
Step 8:

Mix the filling. As I mentioned, mine came out a little dry, so I added a bit of mayonnaise — and it only made the dish better. Next time I'll add a little garlic for extra zip.
Step 9:

Fill the egg-white halves with the filling. The more you pack in, the tastier they are — mound it up. I had some filling left over and used it as a sandwich spread, but you could also fill tartlet shells with it.
Step 10:

Garnish the finished deviled eggs however you like and serve. Enjoy!

How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, place them in cold water and bring it to a gentle boil. Cook the eggs for 9 minutes after the water boils, then drain and cover with cold water to cool. The sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel.
How do you choose good imitation crab? Always check the expiration date. Surimi (minced white fish) should be the first item on the ingredient list. Important: don't buy a package with ice crystals on it — that's a sign it was refrozen. Fresh sticks should be free of gray or yellow spots, firm, and slightly moist. If they feel sticky, they've gone bad.
The film wrapping each crab stick can be tricky to peel off. To make it easier, hold the sticks over steam for 1–3 seconds.
