Deviled Egg Christmas Trees

Festive and delightful deviled eggs shaped like Christmas trees, perfect for holiday gatherings.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado (or 2 tablespoons mayonnaise if preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika or chili flakes (for decoration)
  • Chopped red bell pepper or pimentos (for decoration)
  • Yellow bell pepper or cheese (for “tree toppers”)
  • Fresh dill or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Drain the hot water and cool the eggs in ice water. Once cooled, peel the eggs.
  4. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks into a bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
  5. Mash the yolks with the avocado (or mayonnaise) until smooth.
  6. Add Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Greek yogurt (if using) to the yolk mixture. Stir until creamy and fold in the chopped herbs.
  7. Spoon the filling into a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe the filling into the egg whites, swirling upward to create Christmas tree shapes.
  8. Sprinkle paprika or chili flakes to resemble “garlands,” add chopped red bell peppers as “ornaments,” and top each tree with a yellow bell pepper or cheese star.
  9. Arrange the decorated eggs on a platter with fresh dill or parsley sprigs to create a festive forest scene.
  10. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

These Deviled Egg Christmas Trees can be made ahead of time; prepare the filling a day in advance and assemble just before serving for the best presentation.
