Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Green food coloring (gel or liquid, as needed)
- Chopped chives or green onions for garnish
- Paprika or red bell pepper bits for “ornaments”
- Small yellow pepper or carrot stars for “tree tops”
- Optional Flavor Boosters:
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- A dash of hot sauce
- A sprinkle of smoked paprika
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
- Cool and Peel: Transfer to an ice bath. Once cooled, peel and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
- Make the Filling: Scoop yolks into a bowl and mash with mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add Color: Mix in green food coloring until you achieve the desired Christmas tree shade.
- Fill the Eggs: Pipe or spoon the mixture into the egg whites, forming a pointed “tree” shape.
- Decorate: Sprinkle chives for branches, add red pepper or paprika for ornaments, and top with a small yellow star cutout.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use mashed avocado or spinach puree instead of food coloring for a natural green hue.
- Decorate just before serving for the freshest look.
- For a fun presentation, arrange eggs in the shape of a Christmas tree on a platter.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Use a piping bag or sandwich bag with the tip snipped for easy filling.
