Deviled Egg Christmas Trees

Print Recipe

A festive twist on classic deviled eggs, these bite-sized treats are decorated to resemble Christmas trees and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 oz baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dehydrated potato flakes
  • 1 red Fresno chili pepper, minced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into small stars
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently add the eggs and cook for 9.5 minutes. Transfer the eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  2. Prepare the Egg Whites: Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise, trimming the bottoms slightly.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and spinach, sauté until spinach wilts. Let mixture cool.
  4. Blend the Filling: In a food processor, combine the cooked egg yolks, sautéed spinach and garlic, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, hot sauce, and potato flakes. Blend to a smooth consistency and chill for 15 minutes.
  5. Pipe the Filling: Transfer the filling to a piping bag and fill each egg white half, creating a peak.
  6. Decorate the Trees: Top each tree with minced Fresno chili, yellow bell pepper stars, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Consider adding crushed red pepper flakes for extra spice, or use a piping bag fitted with a star tip for decoration.
