Deviled Egg Christmas Trees
A fun holiday twist on classic deviled eggs — piped with a green-tinted filling and decorated with dill sprigs, peppers, and paprika to look like mini Christmas trees. Perfect for Christmas parties, potlucks, and festive snack trays.
Equipment
- saucepan (for boiling eggs)
- mixing bowl
- fork or masher
- piping bag or zip-top bag
- sharp knife
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- a few drops green food coloring (or spinach purée)
- for garnish fresh dill sprigs
- for garnish red bell pepper pieces (ornaments)
- for garnish paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Peel hard-boiled eggs, slice in half lengthwise, and carefully remove yolks.
- In a small bowl, mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring (or spinach purée) to tint the filling green.
- Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites, creating a tall swirl resembling a Christmas tree.
- Decorate with dill sprigs as branches and red bell pepper pieces as ornaments. Sprinkle with paprika if desired.
- Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
For the green tint, you can use spinach or parsley purée instead of food coloring for a natural option. Garnish creatively with red bell pepper ‘ornaments,’ dill ‘tree branches,’ or even star-shaped cheese cutouts for the tree topper.
