Delicious Deviled Egg Christmas Trees for Festive Celebrations

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • Chopped herbs (like parsley or chives) for decoration
  • Diced red bell peppers for decoration
  • Edible glitter for decoration (optional)
  • Carrot sticks for tree trunks

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Start by placing your eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for about 12-15 minutes before transferring them to an ice bath to cool.
  2. Peel the Eggs: Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on the counter to crack the shells and peel them under running water to make the process easier.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Slice the boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and food coloring if desired. Mash the mixture with a fork until smooth and creamy.
  4. Shape the Christmas Trees: Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. To create the tree shape, you can use a piping bag fitted with a star tip for a decorative finish, or simply spoon the mixture in a mound.
  5. Decorate: Get creative! Use chopped herbs to mimic garland, diced red bell peppers for ornaments, and place a small piece of carrot stick at the bottom of each egg half for the trunk. Arrange the filled eggs on a festive platter to resemble a Christmas tree display.
  6. Chill and Serve: Let the deviled egg trees chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes them easier to handle.
